City of Edinburgh Council Registration and Placing Requests

Information for registering your child for Primary 1 and submitting a placing request can be found on the City of Edinburgh council's Starting Primary School page.

To register your child at the local catchment school you will need

• The name of the catchment school/centre you wish to register the child. If you don’t know the schools in your catchment area, before completing the form please use our Find your catchment school page to check the local catchment primary school for your address.
• A digital copy of the child's birth certificate, passport or other formal identification.
  (Only for children who do not attend a nursery or pre-school operated by City of Edinburgh council)

Usually, children attend their local catchment primary school, however if you want to make a placing request to a non-catchment primary school you must still register at a catchment school.
