Enrolment of first entrants takes place in January each year; details of dates are intimated in local press, and also given to pupils presently attending the school. In Old Monkland we have a Pre-entrant programme in place, which provides parents and pre-entrant children with opportunities to get to know the school and class teacher. Any parent wishing to enrol his/her child at any other time may do so by contacting the school by telephone or in person and are warmly invited to see round the school.
