The placing request process is completely online this year but if you do not live in the Holytown catchment area and intend on making a placing request to attend Holytown Primary, we would appreciate you letting us know by email as we don’t receive this information until much later and this would allow children to participate fully in the transition to school programme. Courtesy placing request emails can be sent to enquiries-at-holytown@northlan.org.uk
