Use this service to enrol your child at their first primary school, or if you have school-age children and are moving to the Stirling Council area.

If your child is entering P1, you should enrol them at their catchment area primary school before the end of January in the year they are due to start school.

If your child already attends a nursery class within your catchment school, you still need to enrol for primary school.

If you're new to, or moving to, the Stirling area, you should enrol your child at their catchment area school as soon as you can provide the required residency documents. You will be unable to enrol your child in school prior to residing in the Stirling area.

If you are unsure of your catchment school, you can find out here

Once you have submitted your child’s enrolment form, if you have any further queries please contact your catchment school directly.

More information regarding school enrolments, including a list of the required residency documents can be found in Stirling Council’s Admissions to Schools Policy.

Placing requests

Most children attend their local catchment school, however, there can be times when parents/carers wish their child to attend a different school. Parents/carers may request enrolment in another school by submitting a placing request.

Before you make a placing request, you should enrol your child at their catchment school.

Before you begin

You will need:

  • your child’s birth certificate
  • proof of residency in the catchment area

If you are enrolling your child to a Roman Catholic school, a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate is also required. If your child is not baptised, a placing request is required to attend a Roman Catholic school.
