Frequently asked questions

How many schools are there in East Kilbride?

The Scottish Government's official school contact details lists 31 open schools with a East Kilbride address (as of 14 June 2026), including 25 primary and 3 secondary schools. Schools open, close and convert over time, so always check the official record for the latest position.

Does living in East Kilbride 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.

Where does this list come from?

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

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.
