P1 registration for children starting school for August 2024 will take place during November. You register your child by completing an online form.
Families will be notified of their confirmed P1 place no later than February 2024. Schools will contact parents and carers to invite their children to special open days and visits ahead of the new school term in August 2024.
To register your child at the local catchment school you will need:
- A digital copy of the child’s birth certificate (The requirement to upload a birth certificate only applies to children who did not attend a nursery or pre-school operated by Glasgow City Council)
- The name of the local school/centre you wish to register the child. If you are unfamiliar with schools within your catchment area, please use the school catchment lookup before completing the form.
It is usual practice for children to attend their local catchment primary school.
Parents/Carers will have the opportunity to visit their local catchment school and should check the day(s), time(s) for visits with the school concerned.
If you wish to enrol your child for the start of the new school session in August 2024, they must have attained the age of 5 years between 1 March 2024 and the 28 February 2025.
If you are considering deferring your child’s entry to Primary 1 in August 2024, you should still proceed to register them online for their catchment school until your deferral application is confirmed.
Please note, as the parent/ carer you have the right to apply to place your child in a school other than your local school. You must complete an enrolment application before you submit a placing request.
