If a P7 child lives outwith the catchment for the secondary school their parent wishes them to attend then a Placing Request is required to be submitted. Submission of Placing Requests for S1 should be done early in the New Year and before 15 March. North Ayrshire Council will then write to parents by 30 April with their decision. The following two links will allow parents to identify the catchment.
