School census figures tell us that over 124,000 young people are taught in Catholic primary and secondary schools in Scotland - over 21% of the entire school population.
Parents who wish to enrol their children in a Catholic school should contact their local Council to enquire about the location of the nearest Catholic schools. Generally, parents have an automatic right to enrol their children, if places are available.
A leaflet, written in Polish, is available for parents who wish to know more about enrolling children in a Catholic school in Scotland.
