Online Enrolment Opens For 2023 Primary 1 Places
31st January 2023
The Highland Council is inviting parents and carers to enrol their child online for the next school session starting on 15 August 2023. Online enrolment for Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) places will open on 13 February 2023.
If your child will be five years of age on or before 29 February 2024, they 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.
Although you may wish your child to attend a school other than your catchment primary school, you must first enrol at your catchment school and then make a placing request.
The Primary 1 enrolment week for Highland schools is from Monday 30 January to Friday 3 February 2023. For all ELC places, enrolment week will be Monday 13 February to Friday 17 February 2023. Children born between 1 March 2019 and 28 February 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 should contact their catchment school or preferred ELC setting during enrolment week to request a paper copy of the enrolment form.
