Information about school enrolment for children resident in Glasgow, including making a placing request and deferring entry to school, can be found on Glasgow City Council’s website:

School Enrolment and Placing Requests (Glasgow City Council website)

Enrolment week is Monday 4th – Friday 8th November 2025, when parents and carers are required to complete an online enrolment form. Any child who will attain the age of 5 years between 1 March 2025 and 28 February 2026 is eligible to start school in August 2025. Please note ALL children should be enrolled for their local catchment school. If a parent wishes to  put in a placing request to a different school, or consider alternative provision for P1, they should still complete the enrolment form.

Supporting enrolment:

• Have you notified parents/carers about the enrolment process through a variety of communication channels in advance of the November enrolment date? Download a poster to display in your setting: P1 Enrolment Poster for schools 2025
• Have you considered how you will support parents/carers who may find it difficult to complete the enrolment process, for reasons such as difficulty accessing the internet, requiring literacy support, or needing support with English as an additional language?
• Do you know what schools your children are zoned for? School catchment areas in Glasgow can be found using the My Catchment tool: My Catchment School
