How are P1 places decided at Alexandra Parade Primary School?

When Alexandra Parade Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Resident in the school's catchment area — Glasgow City Council prioritises places for catchment children. Families register their child at the local catchment school for their home address; the number of places available for placing requests depends on how many places remain after P1/S1 catchment children have been accommodated. Where there are too many applications from catchment children for their local primary or secondary school, placing request criteria numbers 1 to 5 are applied in order to decide which children are offered places, and if two or more cannot be distinguished a ballot organised by a senior officer of Education Services allocates the places — the distance criterion is never used among catchment children. Tie-break: If, after the criteria have been applied, two or more requests cannot be distinguished as having priority, a ballot will be held to allocate the places available, organised by a senior officer of Education Services. The final criterion of distance is only used to determine the allocation of placing requests; a ballot is used in cases of over-subscription where all the children being considered live within the catchment area.
