Aberdeenshire Council primary one pupils registration set to open
Aberdeenshire Council’s registration week for primary one admission will take place from Monday, January 13 to Friday, January 17.
All children who reach their fifth birthday by February 28, 2026, are invited to register for primary one for admission in August 2025.
An Aberdeenshire Council spokesperson said: “Parents/carers of those children due to commence attendance at school in August 2025 should now register their children for the appropriate local primary school.
“To register for a primary school place, for a school within your catchment area, please complete the online application at: https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/applyForSchoolPlace
“It is usual practice for children to attend their local catchment primary school, however you do have the right to apply to place your child in a school other than your local one.
“You should still register your child in a school in the area in which you live until you know the outcome of your application.”
