During the month of January each year, details of registration and enrolment for children starting school in August will appear in the local press and church bulletins.
You should register your child in the school which serves your catchment area, however, you may exercise your parental right and apply for a placing request to another school at the time of registration (this would be sent to the Educational Service Officer).
Parents/carers who are considering enrolling with us are welcome to visit the school and discuss your child's education with the Head Teacher.
If you choose to enrol your child in St. Michael's, please complete the online application form which can be found on the West Dunbartonshire Council website. When visiting the school, please bring with you a copy of the child's birth certificate and, if available, baptismal certificate. Due to COVID restrictions this may take place at a later date.
Unfortunately, recent transition visits have not taken place due to COVID restrictions but we will plan these as soon as safely possible. Hopefully, the children will be invited to visit the school to meet their teacher and all other staff who will be working with them in primary one, and parents will be given the opportunity to participate in a pre-entrant meeting in May as an introduction to sharing the experience of starting school.
There will be further curriculum meetings when your child starts school.
To enrol a child of any age during the term, please contact the Head Teacher (01389 773914).
