Apply for an in-year place or changing schools

Apply directly to the school using the request form below.

We recommend you apply to your catchment school. If schools have places, they can reserve some for children moving into the catchment area, but there is no guarantee of a place. Check if a place is available before you move.

You may request a school outside your catchment area. This will only be granted if there is a place available.

At Cramond, pupil places are managed by Headteacher, Helen Donaldson and school administrator, Carol Fortune.

Please email admin@cramond.edin.sch.uk with any enquiries.
