Do schools in Glasgow have catchment areas?

Scottish schools have catchment zones, set by your council - Glasgow City, East Renfrewshire or East Dunbartonshire, 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 Glasgow?

Children are normally given a place at their catchment school, and your council - Glasgow City, East Renfrewshire or East Dunbartonshire, 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.
