When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (P1), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: The criteria will be applied in the order shown. If for any category the number of requests exceeds the number of places available, the next succeeding criteria will be used to prioritise these requests and so on until all priority criteria have been exhausted. If, after this process, two or more requests cannot be distinguished as having priority, then a ballot will be held to allocate the places available, organised by a senior education officer.
Where catchment applications exceed places, those applications are deemed and processed as placing requests under Appendix 1 with no need to submit a form. A placing request to remain is required if a family moves out of the catchment; it is refused where the year stage is full and already has a redirected child. Calderwood Lodge (the Jewish primary) uses a different set of criteria. The Council checks residence, including visits, and may refer deception to the Procurator Fiscal.
Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
