Primary School Registration Week

Registration Week for Primary 1 is 30th January to 3rd February 2012.

All children who reach their fifth birthday by 28th February 2013 are invited to register for Primary 1 for admission in August 2012.

Aberdeenshire Education, Learning & Leisure Service has a common starting date for all its schools in the middle of August in any particular year. You will be informed of this year's starting date at the time of registration at school.

Parents are asked to visit the Primary school of their choice during Registration Week. If this is not possible, parents should try and visit the school by the end of February 2011. To register for Primary 1 the child’s birth certificate is required as evidence of their date of birth.

Aberdeenshire Education, Learning & Leisure Service makes no provision to admit any children who are five after the end of February, unless that child has previously been registered and has commenced full-time attendance (excluding induction) in a state supported or Forces school and is transferring into Aberdeenshire. In this case, the local authority can exercise discretion. Registration for a nursery or playgroup does not count for the purposes of this exception.
