Jordanhill is neither a local authority nor an independent school and has its own unique Admissions Regulations.
Please note that the annual review is currently taking place. The updated Admissions Regulations, Principles of Admission and Guide to Admissions will be published at the end of August. These will determine the offer of places for entry in August 2020. Applications can still be made while the review is ongoing.
The main entry points are Primary 1 (66 places) and Secondary 1 (a further 33 places). The offer of these places and any occasional vacancies which may arise from P1 to S2 are governed strictly by the Admissions Regulations.
In general terms, priority for admission is given to children who reside ‘locally’. The school has 3 waiting lists. In order of priority these are:
- List 1 Applicants living in a designated ‘local’ address
- List 2 Applicants living in a supplementary ‘local’ address
- List 3 Applicants living in any other address
Within each list priority is given to applicants with siblings in the school and pupils are ranked strictly by the official date of receipt of their application. For the purposes of determining the annual offer of places for entry to P1 and S1 in the subsequent August, the place on the waiting list of each child is determined by the application of the Regulations as of 30th September in the preceding year.
