When can I enrol my child?
Dates for enrolment to Nursery and Primary 1 will be advertised on the Perth and Kinross Council website and will be communicated by the school on the school door and within the school catchment area. Parents of children who will be enrolling into Primary 1 should enrol their child in January prior to a start in August.
Most of our Primary 1 entrant’s will have been in Nursery and will be familiar with the surroundings. The school puts in place special transition days for the children to visit their new class and teacher before August.
For children transferring from other areas, it is extremely helpful to receive examples of work and or portfolios. This allows the class teacher to gain a perspective as to what stage they are at in their learning journey and crucially what their next steps are.
Should parents wish their child to attend primary school other than the one in their catchment area, they must submit a placing request. Placing request forms are available on the council website www.pkc.gov.uk or from the address detailed below:

When is the best time to contact the school?
We have an open-door policy at Kinloch Rannoch Primary. The most suitable time to contact the school is between 08:45 and 15:15. This is when we have a member of staff in our school office.
A school staff member is in the playground from 8.45am each morning to welcome the children and to talk with them before they come in for lessons. If you wish to meet with a teacher, please ask at the school office for a convenient appointment time.
If there is an emergency, please call the school. Should you be unable to contact anyone by telephone there is a voicemail system to leave a message.
Can I take my child out of school for a family holiday?
Family holidays will be marked in school as an unauthorised absence. This will be done even if you have told the school you intend to take your child on holiday. No school work will be given, although some schools may consider giving you information about what will be covered during the absence.
Extended visits overseas to relatives or extended absence in relation to children of travelling people would be marked as an authorised absence.
Extended is defined as a period of more than four weeks. If you wish to discuss the matter further in relation to your child, please contact the school.
