Special schools and alternative provision in Highland

These schools serve pupils with particular needs, so they aren't ranked against mainstream schools on exam results. Places are usually arranged through the council, often via an Education, Health and Care plan.

Do schools in Highland have catchment areas?

Scottish schools have catchment zones, set by Highland and published on its website. A child living in a school's zone is normally given a place there; to apply for a school outside your zone you make a placing request.

How do I apply for a school place in Highland?

Children are normally given a place at their catchment school, and Highland writes to families to confirm it. To ask for a different school, make a placing request to Highland - these usually open in November and close in mid-March for the following August.
