Find a school catchment
Midlothian is divided into catchment areas. Every house is in a catchment area, where residents are given priority admission.
To confirm your catchment school and/or discuss please contact us:
- pupil.placement@midlothian.gov.uk
- 0131 271 3733
Each catchment area has:
- a non-denominational primary school
- a non-denominational secondary school
- a Roman Catholic primary school
- a Roman Catholic secondary school
Please note that your catchment school may not be the nearest school to your home.
Meeting future demand
With the fastest growing population of any local authority in Scotland, particularly within the early years and school age population, Midlothian Council continues to prepare to meet future demand for local services including education provision.
The rising number of school pupils will require the council to build more schools and extend existing schools to meet this growth. As a result, current school catchment areas may be subject to change during this period of growth.
