Frequently asked questions
How many schools are there in Forfar?
The Scottish Government's official school contact details lists 7 open schools with a Forfar address (as of 14 June 2026), including 6 primary and 1 secondary schools. Schools open, close and convert over time, so always check the official record for the latest position.
Does living in Forfar 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 Forfar?

Both use straight-line distance, which is a planning aid — local authorities may measure differently for admissions.
