Dumfries and Galloway Council have published the following information:
“Parents of children who are aged five years by the last day of February 2021 are asked to enrol their child(ren) at their catchment primary school on
Monday 13 January or Tuesday 14 January 2020
from 9am until 3.30pm
Details of catchment schools can be found on the Council’s website (www.dumgal.gov.uk). Type your postcode or address into “Find My Nearest” and hit search – school information can be found under Education.
Please bring with you, your child’s birth certificate and proof of residence (a gas or electricity bill or Council tax bill showing your address).
Enrolment on the appropriate date is particularly important in light of the legislation regarding parents’ choice of school to be attended (you must enrol at your catchment school even if you wish to attend another school).
Further information on the enrolment process can be obtained from your catchment primary school.
Parents are reminded of their right to retain their child(ren) at home until the enrolment date following their fifth birthday.”
