Enrolling in secondary school
Children enrolled in a Fife Council primary school who will move to their catchment secondary in August 2024 will be moved automatically. If you would prefer to submit a placing request, the online process has now closed so you should contact the secondary school directly.
To enrol in any other year groups or make a placing request outwith S1, please contact the school directly. Secondary schools can be found at on our Secondary schools page.
It is customary for children to attend their local school (catchment school). If you don't want your child to attend the local school, there's an option within the online form to select an alternative. This request is referred to as a placing request.
Back To TopIf you apply for a catchment school or make a placing request for a school outwith your catchment area, we will send out a letter in the post with the outcome of your request before 30th April 2024, as per Fife Council policy.
If you haven't heard anything by these dates, please contact the school you've applied to. The list of secondary schools can be found here.
Back To TopIn normal circumstances, all pupils applying for a place at their catchment school will be guaranteed a place. However, if there's an over-subscription of pupils for the number of S1 places available, the school will get back in touch with these parents.
If you move to a new area after April, you may find that there are no places available in your catchment school. In these circumstances, your child would be placed at another school and go on a waiting list for the catchment school.
If you are considering moving your child at the P7 stage to another primary school, please let your current primary school know your request.
