Although it is usual for children to attend their local catchment area school, parents/carers have the right to request that their children be placed in a different primary or secondary school. This is called a Placing Request. Education Authorities have a duty to grant placing requests wherever possible. We will try to grant your request, provided there are places at the school which you choose. Where the demand for places exceeds the number of available places in a school it is not always possible to grant all such placing requests.
Placing requests for any school should be made online at School placing requests.
If your child currently attends a Primary School outwith Dundee and you wish then to attend a Dundee Secondary School you are required to submit a placing request regardless of your home address.
If you cannot make the request online you will need to visit Dundee House. Dundee House has moved to an appointment only system. You can book an appointment using our online booking system.
