Primary One enrolment usually takes place from the first week back in the January term.  If you have any queries regarding enrolment, please do not hesitate to contact our school office.

Enrolment

Children normally start school in August if their 5th birthday falls before 1 March of the following year. If your child attends the nursery of your catchment school don't assume that they will be automatically transferred. You must register them as normal.  It’s only the parent the child ordinarily stays with who is authorised to register them, this includes the guardian or any person who is liable to maintain or has parental responsibilities.

Catchment School

You must identify the catchment school for your permanent home address by using the school catchment checker. This will show you information on your denominational and non-denominational catchment schools for primary and secondary. If you have any difficulty in identifying your catchment school please email us at edsuppserv.helpline@southlanarkshire.gov.uk.
