P1 registration notice 2025
Registration and Enrolment
The date for registration of new school entrants is advertised in all
local nurseries, national and local press and on the council’s website www.renfrewshire.gov.uk. It is normally in November each year. Pupils should be registered in only one school for their catchment area. Parents will be provided with information about the school when they register their child.
Parents who want to send their child to a school other than the catchment school must make a placing request. Information on how to make a placing request is contained in the leaflet ‘Sending your child to school.’ The leaflet is available from any school, by phoning our customer contact centre on 0300 300 0300, or on our website www.renfrewshire.gov.uk. It is important to note that a successful placing request into a primary school does not guarantee a successful placing request when a child is transferring to secondary school.
Parents of pupils who have moved into the catchment area or, who wish their child to transfer to the school, should contact the school office for information.
Induction procedures for pupils starting school and their parents
Parents will be advised of parent meetings and pupil induction days during the spring and summer terms.
In St John Bosco primary school, during the summer term, parents are invited to bring new entrants to school for induction visits so that they can meet the teachers and the children who will be in their class. The children are then invited to spend some time visiting primary one whilst staff talk with parents about life in Primary 1.
At this meeting we try to give a general overview of the curriculum, provide details of the first few weeks in school and offer the opportunity to order school uniform. It is also a good opportunity for parents to get to know each other. Information on our active and supportive parent council will also be shared. If your child requires an enhanced transition to school this will be arranged following discussion with parents and school staff.
