Enrolment Procedures

The 2026/2027 school year starts on 12 August 2026, this is the only date for beginning school education for that year. All children who are five years old on or before 12 August 2026 are of school age and must start their primary school education on 12 August 2026. Children who are five years old between 13 August and 28 February 2027 may start their primary school education on 12 August 2026 or can defer entry to P1 until 2027 

If your child is starting their primary school education in August 2026, or if you are choosing to defer their entry into primary school to August 2027, you must enrol them at their catchment school by 31 January 2026. Details of school catchment areas and further information on our enrolment procedures can be found by visiting our website www.stirling.gov.uk  or by contacting them on 01786 233220. 

Should you wish your child to attend a primary school other than their catchment school you are still required to enrol them in the catchment school and submit a placing request for the school of your choice. 

We have now moved to online enrolments and request that you complete the online enrolment form which can be found on our website www.stirling.gov.uk . As part of the enrolment process we are required to check the residency of all parents wishing to enrol their child at their catchment school. You will be required to upload a copy of your child’s birth certificate, and two of the following – child benefit book/award letter, tax credit/universal credit award letter, two recent household utility bills or a recent council tax bill. If you are unable to use our online enrolment form or upload the necessary documents please contact the school who will be able to assist.
