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 can be found below.

• Your child can start school in August 2027 if they turn 5 between 01 March 2027 and 29 February 2028.

• P1 notification letters confirming your catchment schools will be sent out at the beginning of November 2026 for children who attend a Midlothian Council funded Early Learning/ Childcare setting or Childminder.

• You must register your child at one of your catchment schools. You can do this online from 16 November to 22 November 2026.

• 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 Learning/ Childcare setting or Childminder.
