Oversubscribed Schools
Schools in West Lothian may be oversubscribed, including at the P1 or S1 stages.
That means these schools receive more applications than there are places available.
Places are limited by factors including the availability of accommodation, the cost of extending accommodation, and the cost of employing additional staff.
For this reason, it is not always possible to offer parents their first choice of school.
