Getting a place

Catchment area

Highland council has drawn an official catchment area for this school as a Gaelic-medium school. You can see it on the map below; it covers about 580 square kilometres. If you live inside it, your child has the right to a place here. Families outside it can ask for a place (a placing request), which is only given if there is room.

Set your home postcode at the top of the page to see whether you live inside it.

There is no entrance test. Every address in Scotland has a catchment primary and secondary school. If you want a different school, you ask the council for a place there (a placing request).

You apply through Highland council, not the school.
