Early Learning and Childcare Information

Moving onto Primary School

Allocation of places

Placement in a primary school is based on home address, so pupils who attend the nursery of a school which is not in their catchment area are not guaranteed a Primary 1 place in the same school.

Find out your school catchment area and more about enrolling your child in school.
