Children aged five years of age on or before February 29, 2024 are eligible to enrol for Primary 1.

To enrol your child, or for further information on completing the online form, the enrolment process, catchment areas, Gaelic Medium education, school transport and placing requests, please visit www.highland.gov.uk/enrol.

Highland Council have advised that although you may wish your child to attend a school other than your catchment primary school, you must first enrol at your catchment school before making a placing request.

The Primary 1 enrolment week for Highland schools will run from Monday January 30 to Friday February 3, 2023.

For all ELC places, enrolment week will be Monday February 13 to Friday February 17, 2023. Children born between March 1, 2019 and February 28, 2021 are entitled to a funded ELC place.

Please note once you have enrolled your child online, the school or ELC provider will contact you to arrange the necessary induction for your child.

Parents who do not have access to the online enrolment process are advised to contact their catchment school or preferred ELC setting during enrolment week to request a paper copy of the enrolment form.
