Starting school is an exciting time and we look forward to welcoming all our new learners in August 2026.
Arrangements for this year's transition program will be shared prior to the Easter Holidays.
Information about transition will be posted on this page.
Please check back regularly for updates.
If your child turns 5 years old between 1 March 2026 and 28 February 2027, you should register them to start primary school in August 2026.
You should receive a P1 letter at the beginning of November. This letter explains how to register your child and how to make a placing request, if you would like your child to attend an out of catchment primary school, please visit www.midlothian.gov.uk/schoolplace.
Registration week opens online at 9:00am on 17 November 2025 at www.midlothian.gov.uk/schoolplace.
If you do not receive a P1 notification letter email pupil.placement@midlothian.gov.uk with your child's full name, date of birth, address and their Early Years setting or childminder.
If you move to Midlothian after the November registration period you can still register your child. If you register by 15 March, you will be notified from 30 April. If you register after 15 March, you will be notified within 2 months
