School registration

At the start of your child’s school education, you should register for the local Primary 1 intake. You can do this at your local school during registration week. This usually takes place in December and is advertised in the local press. When you register, you will be asked to provide proof of residence in the area.

If your child is in a city school and is preparing to move from primary to secondary school, a letter confirming your district high school will automatically be sent to you late in November. If you want your child to go to this school, you do not need to take any further action.

If your child is not part of a new Primary 1 or Secondary 1 intake, the enrolment procedure is slightly different. You need to contact the school you want your child to attend and they will let you know if there is a place available. If not, your child can go on a waiting list.
