Enrolling Your Child in Primary 1
P1 registration for children starting school for August 2025 will take place from: Monday 3 November 2025 – Friday 7 November 2025.
Families will be notified of their confirmed P1 place no later than February 2026. Thereafter, schools will contact parents and carers to invite their children to special open days and visits ahead of the new school term in August 2026.
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 our School catchment lookup before completing the form.
If you are considering deferring your child’s entry to Primary 1 in August 2026, you should still proceed to register them on line for their catchment school until your deferral application is confirmed. Deferred Entry process.
If necessary, “postal” Enrolment Applications can be requested by contacting Glasgow City Council Customer Business Services, Enrolment Team.
