Secondary school places
There are currently 11 Secondary Schools in West Lothian. Details of these can be found by clicking on the Schools List link under Online Tools on the right.
West Lothian is divided into catchment areas for primary and secondary schools. Each school is either denominational (linked to a particular religion) or nondenominational (not linked to any particular religion). All the denominational schools in West Lothian are Roman Catholic.
Each home address has a catchment denominational school and a catchment non-denominational school, for both primary and secondary education. The catchment schools depend on home addresses. Although efforts are made to provide enough places for all children in the catchment area at the catchment school, living within a catchment area does not guarantee a child a place.
More information on catchment areas is available by clicking on the Schools List link under Online Tools on the right and opening the Catchment .pdf document relating to the school in question.
Further information on applications for placement in a school can be found in the Pupil Placement and Admissions - Secondary Policy - see 'Online Tools' on the right.
