How do I apply to Christie Park Primary School?

How are P1 places decided at Christie Park Primary School?

When Christie Park Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Resident in the catchment area — Schools have a defined catchment area and children living in this area are given priority for a place at the school. Catchment schools (denominational and non-denominational) are determined by postcode, not by attendance at a primary or early years establishment, and a child may be registered at only one of the two sector catchment schools. We will always prioritise places for catchment children and have the right to reserve places within a school for catchment children moving into the area. Where a school is full, places for catchment children are granted using the priority criteria and children not accommodated are offered a neighbouring school with free transport, and held on the local school's waiting list. Tie-break: The criteria are applied in the rank 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 those requests, and so on until all priority criteria have been exhausted. If there are still more placing requests than places available, a ballot organised by the Senior Education Officer will allocate the places.
