If you’re moving into Ashgill and have children of primary school age, please pop in to see us and we’ll be glad to give you a tour of our school.
We’ll be delighted to guide you through the registration process and get your child / children started as soon as possible.
In the event that we are full and do not have a vacancy in your child’s stage we will put them on our waiting list and notify you when a vacancy becomes available. In the meantime South Lanarkshire Council will offer your child a place in the next local school that has a space available.
Children born between 1 March and 28 February are eligible to start Primary 1 in August.
You must register your child in your local school.
School catchment areas can be checked on South Lanarkshire Council’s website. Please click on this link for further information.
This year Primary 1 registration will take place in South Lanarkshire Council in mid January.
You will be able to register your child online.
You will need to provide the original version of their full birth certificate and two proofs of residency that show your name and home address.
Proof of residency may include: driving licence, rent book, council tax letter, a household bill that has a company logo, your name and address (no more than six months old).
Placing Requests
If you wish your child to attend a school and your family home does not fall in their catchment area you must still register at your local school. You can then make a placing request to South Lanarkshire Council for a place in your chosen school. Placing requests are not always granted and there is no guarantee that a place will be offered in your chosen school.
By making a placing request you are relinquishing your right to a place in your local school and your child will not qualify for transport.
