Parents applying for primary one catchment places at schools in East Renfrewshire can submit their application online from tomorrow (December 1).

Due to ongoing Covid restrictions, measures have been put in place to ensure there is no requirement for parents to have to attend school to complete the admission process.

Supporting documents required as part of the process still need to be produced but this can now be done digitally as part of the two-stage online process.

Parents and carers of children who will be aged five between March 2022 and February 2023 should apply to register in either the local denominational or non-denominational school at this time.

The deadline for applications is midnight on January 21.

The application form can be found online at eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/apply-for-p1.
