Do schools in Aberdeen have catchment areas?
Scottish schools have catchment zones, set by your council - Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire or Scotland Offshore Establishments, depending on your address - 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 Aberdeen?
Children are normally given a place at their catchment school, and your council - Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire or Scotland Offshore Establishments, depending on your address - writes to families to confirm it. To ask for a different school, make a placing request to your council - these usually open in November and close in mid-March for the following August.
