Registration of Primary 1 children takes place in November and in January and is advertised widely in local press etc. Prospective parents are welcome to visit the school and should contact the school office.

Parents who wish to apply for early entry may do so.  Underage placing requests will only be granted after full assessment of the child concerned by the Education Authority. If granted, their child may then enrol.

The education authority does not provide transport for those pupils living outwith the catchment area who are in receipt of a placing request, other than in individual exceptional circumstances and where appropriate legislation applies.

In the case of under age placing requests, if the child is offered a place in his/her catchment area, school transport will be provided in accordance with council policy stated above.
