Enrolling your child for school<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children normally start school in August if their 5th birthday falls before 1 March of the following year.<\/p>\n

Enrol online<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf your child is due to start school in August 2026, further information about the enrolment process will be made available via social media throughout December 2025 and early January 2025. It is too early to complete the enrolment form now.<\/p>\n

To register your child for school you should complete our online registration form. You must identify the catchment school for your permanent home address by using the school catchment checker. This will give you information on both primary and secondary schools. The link to the online form will be given when you select your catchment school.<\/p>\n

It is only the parent the child ordinarily stays with who is authorised to register them. This includes the guardian or any person who is liable to maintain or has parental responsibilities. For more information see the Children (Scotland) Act 1995). If you have any difficulty in identifying your catchment school please email us edsuppserv.helpline@southlanarkshire.gov.uk<\/p>\n

Submit your documents online<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe online registration form will ask you to provide each child’s full birth certificate and two pieces of recent official documentation both containing your permanent home address for example a utility bill, council tax statement, housing rent card, child benefit documentation. Proof of where the child lives may also be needed. Please note that a registration is required for each child (e.g. twins require a registration each).<\/p>\n

Documents should be no more than 5MB each and preferably in .jpg or .pdf format.<\/p>\n

If your child attends the nursery of your catchment school don’t assume that they will be automatically transferred. You must register them as normal.<\/p>\n

Placing requests<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf you intend to enrol your child at a different school, please read our page on placing requests for further information.<\/p>\n

Early entry<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf your child’s birthday is after 1 March, you can still apply to have them admitted early, please read our page on early entry to school.<\/p>\n

Deferred entry<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf you wish your child to have an additional year at nursery, please read our page on deferred entry to school.<\/p>\n

Pupil enrolment during the summer holiday period<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf you want to enrol your child during the summer holidays, you should complete an online registration. An admissions review will take place a few days before the start of the new August term. Someone will then be in touch to confirm if a space is available for you at your catchment school.<\/p>\n
