Lochside Academy services the areas of Cove, Kincorth and Torry with pupils being drawn from the associated primary schools in the catchment area. They are Abbotswell, Charleston, Kirkhill, Loriston, Tullos and Walker Road. Under the ‘Parents Charter’, parents living out with the official catchment area may make application to Aberdeen City for admission of their children to Lochside Academy.
Transport arrangements for such pupils are the responsibility of the parents. Applications for places are processed in accordance with a list of priorities published by Aberdeen City Council and available to all parents seeking to enrol their children. The Education Authority continually reviews school zones and from time to time amendments are made.
