To enroll your child in your catchment school in East Lothian, there are specific requirements you need to meet. These generally involve documentation to verify your residence within the catchment area and your child's age.
Here are the key requirements for enrolling in a catchment primary school:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Child's Birth Certificate | Required for enrolment unless the child already attends an East Lothian nursery. |
| Proof of Residence | Provide a utility bill dated within the last six months and your most recent Council Tax Assessment letter. |
| Additional Documentation (If applicable) | For Roman Catholic schools, a baptism certificate is required. |
When enrolling, you'll complete an online form which allows you to securely upload these documents. It's also important to note that children residing within the catchment area are prioritized for school places. If you're considering applying to a non-catchment school, you'll need to submit a separate placing request form by the designated deadlines. For further details, you can refer to the information available on the East Lothian Council website.
