Common questions

Is living in Forrester High School 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 Forrester High School 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 Forrester High School catchment?

Streets in Forrester High School catchment include Bankhead Avenue, Bankhead Drive, Bankhead Loan, Barnyard Park Crescent, Barnyard Park Loan, Broombank Terrace, Broomburn Grove and Broomfield Crescent — 193 streets in total, all listed on this page. The catchment covers Corstorphine and South Gyle. Boundary lines can cut through individual streets, so for an address right on the edge confirm by full postcode at edinburgh.gov.uk/catchmentmap.

Which primary schools feed into Forrester High School?

Broomhouse Primary School, Carrick Knowe Primary School, Gylemuir Primary School and Murrayburn Primary School feed into Forrester High School. Each of these primary catchments sits within (or mostly within) the Forrester High School secondary catchment. Children moving from these primaries typically continue to Forrester High School for S1 without a placing request; children at primaries outside this list would normally need to apply via a placing request.

Can I apply to Forrester High School 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.
