Enrolment
Embedded Files
If you are moving to a house in Inverurie please check the Aberdeenshire Council website for School Catchments. This will let you know which school in Inverurie you are zoned for.
If you are within our catchment area your child is entitled to a place here at Strathburn School. If this is the case, please get in touch so we can discuss enrolment with you. You can also Apply for a Place at Strathburn School online. Once you have done this we will ask you to complete paperwork which can be found below.
If you live, or are going to be living outwith our zone, you can apply for an Out of Zone Placing Request. Please do not apply online until your Placing Request has been accepted. NB During P1 Enrolment week (usually during January) parents/carers should complete an Out of Zone Placing Request and should also Apply for a Place indicating on their application that they have completed the Out of Zone Placing Request.
Applications for places at Strathburn School can be made through the Aberdeenshire Council website. Once you have applied for a place at Strathburn School/Nursery for your child, and this has been accepted, we are required to see your proof of identification documentation. This should be your child's birth certificate and proof of your address (for example a recent utility bill or recent bank statement). These can be emailed to the school as scanned documents or as a photo. Alternatively, these documents can be shown on your child's first day at school/nursery. A pupil should not start at school/nursery until the relevant proof of identification documentation has been seen, therefore please ensure that you bring this information with you if you have not already emailed it to the school.
We would also like to provide you with some additional information about Strathburn School/Nursery and we ask you to read the information in the files below and complete the School or Nursery Multiple Permission Form and the Starting Strathburn Questionnaire.

Request for School to Administer Medication
This is only required if you wish the school to administer prescribed medication to your child during school hours. Medication should be handed into the School Office. If this is going to be a long term request then we would be grateful if you could provide a clear plastic box to hold the medication along with a head and shoulders photograph of your child for storage and identification purposes.
Request for Pupil to Carry Own Medication
This should be completed for the use of Epipen’s and/or Inhaler’s. If a child requires an Epipen/Inhaler we would ask that an additional one is handed into the School Office which we will keep in case your child forgets their medication. We would be grateful if you could provide a clear plastic box to hold the medication along with a head and shoulders photograph of your child for storage and identification purposes.
