Frequently asked questions

How many schools are there in Aberdeen?

The Scottish Government's official school contact details lists 63 open schools with a Aberdeen address (as of 14 June 2026), including 49 primary and 12 secondary schools. Schools open, close and convert over time, so always check the official record for the latest position.

Does living in Aberdeen guarantee a place at these schools?

No. Each school's admissions are governed by its own policy and the local authority's coordinated process. Distance is often a tie-breaker behind criteria like siblings, faith and catchment, so being nearby helps but never guarantees a place. Always check the school's current admissions policy and last year's cut-off distance.

How do I check the distance from a home to a school in Aberdeen?

Use our free Find Schools Near a Postcode tool to see every school within a chosen radius of a postcode, or the School Distance Calculator to measure a specific home-to-school distance. Both use straight-line distance, which is a planning aid — local authorities may measure differently for admissions.
