Common questions

Is living in St John's RC Primary catchment guaranteed admission?

No — Edinburgh catchments give priority for admission, not a guarantee. Catchment children are placed first, but at oversubscribed schools even catchment children can be turned down after siblings and exceptional cases. Most primaries do place all catchment children; the council's official wording is that they cannot always guarantee a place at one of your catchment schools.

How do I confirm my address is in St John's RC Primary catchment?

Check by full address — not just postcode — using the City of Edinburgh Council's interactive catchment map at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap. Two flats on the same street can fall in different catchments, so always confirm before signing a lease. If you're cutting it close to a boundary, contact the council's school admissions team directly.

Which streets are in St John's RC Primary catchment?

Streets in St John's RC Primary catchment include Abercorn Avenue, Abercorn Crescent, Abercorn Drive, Abercorn Grove, Abercorn Road, Abercorn Terrace, Adamslaw Place and Adelphi Grove — 309 streets in total, all listed on this page. The catchment covers Portobello and Joppa. Boundary lines can cut through individual streets, so for an address right on the edge confirm by full postcode at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap.

Can I apply to St John's RC Primary from outside the catchment?

Yes — out-of-catchment applications are called placing requests and are submitted to the council each year. Placing requests are considered only after all catchment children have been placed. For high-demand schools, placing requests from outside the catchment are usually unsuccessful in the most oversubscribed year groups. Apply via edinburgh.gov.uk/schools/school-placing-requests.
