Primary school registration (P1)

Parents and carers of children who turn five between 1 March 2024 and 29 February 2026 should register during the week starting Monday 13 January to Friday 17 January 2025 for starting primary 1 in August 2025.

Parents and carers should take their children to the appropriate local primary school during that week at the times designated by the school concerned.

You must produce a birth certificate(s) and a current council tax notice.

You can learn more about choosing a school for your child on the Scottish Government website.

If you wish to contact your local primary school regarding registration you can email or call them directly.

Parents and carers who intend to defer entry for their child to primary school and wish for an additional year of funded early learning and childcare should register their child for school as described above and complete the deferred entry form.

This document is available from the school and on the Deferred entry to primary school page.
