Pre-enrolment for the 2020-2021 school year

The pre-enrolment calendar for the 2020-2021 school year starts on 13 May and ends on 22 May. Given the current situation with the gradual easing of lockdown, applications should be made online where possible to avoid people making journeys. As an exceptional measure, no open days will be held at schools. Pre-enrolment for municipal nursery schools can also be carried out during the same period.

Municipal nursery schools

Pre-enrolment applications for schools and nursery schools should be made online where possible this year, helping to avoid people making journeys during the current lockdown exit process. Infants born in 2018, 2019 and 2020 can be pre-enrolled for nursery school places, providing they will be at least 16 weeks old at the start of the school year.

As an exceptional measure, applications can be made in person by calling the first-choice centre for an appointment between 19 and 22 May and keeping to the safety measures.

As a new measure for the 2020-2021 school year, the new Germanetes municipal nursery school is opening in the Eixample district, offering 104 places. In all, Barcelona has 8,508 places in municipal nurseries. Infants should be at least 16 weeks old at the start of the school year.

Infants, primary and secondary education

The pre-enrolment period is from Wednesday, 13 May, to 22 May. The procedure should also be conducted online where possible for prevention purposes, to avoid mobility during the Covid-19 health crisis.

Families should make pre-enrolment applications using an online form on the website for the Education Consortium or the Ministry of Education. The rest of the documents to be submitted should be scanned or photographed and sent to the official email address of the centre selected as their first choice.

For families unable to apply online, Barcelona City Council has also set up eight support points to help people pre-enrol. A helpline has been activated too (935 511 000) and will be handling pre-enrolment queries from 9 am to 1.30 pm. As a final option, applications can be made in person between 19 and 22 May by calling the first-choice centre and arranging an appointment.
