Old School Records of Dundee


Various School Records held in the Dundee Archives

School Registers of Admissions

This page contains indexes of the Registers of Admissions for Dundee Schools, which have survived and are held at Dundee City Archives, up to and including the year 1924.
These records are closed for 100 years, so this is why the index stops in 1924. We will update it for the years after this once some time has passed. For information on records after 1924 please contact Dundee City Archives (archives@dundeecity.gov.uk).
Any registers before 1924 which are not included are presumed to have not survived. The indexes have been compiled by volunteers. Whilst the indexes are checked for errors, some errors may slip through. Please be aware that some spelling errors may appear in the original register. If you think you have found an error, please get in touch. Few other records for pupils at school in this period survive.
For more information, please contact Dundee City Archives (archives@dundeecity.gov.uk) The following schools are covered in the index:

 Ancrum Road School  Ann Street School  Blackness Road School  Clepington Road School
 Cowgate School  Dens Road Primary School  Downfield School  Drumgeith School
