Which school?

Placing requests

As a parent, you have the right to ask for a place at a school other than your local catchment area school. To do this, you need to make a placing request to your education authority.

If there is space at the school, the education authorities must agree to your request. However, the authority does not have to expand the school to meet placing requests. The authority can also hold back places for children who may move into the catchment area.
