Anticipated 2026/27 primary school commencement: Dortmund residents set to receive correspondence from the municipality
Registration for the 2026/27 school year in Dortmund has begun. Approximately 6,000 children born between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, will be school-aged during this period.
Parents of these children will receive registration forms in the mail. These forms will allow them to register their child at their preferred elementary school. The registration forms can also be obtained from the elementary schools or downloaded from the city of Dortmund's website (dortmund.de/dlzbildung) from mid-September.
It's important to note that registration can only be completed at one elementary school. For denominational schools, special rules may apply.
The registration deadline is November 15, 2025. Parents with questions about the registration process can contact the school department at the phone numbers 0231 50-23098 and 50-16943, or via email at [email protected].
In addition to the children who will reach school age, other students may attend school in Dortmund during the 2026/27 school year. These could include children who move into the city due to immigration or internal migration, as well as younger children who start school early or enroll later. However, specific numbers or groups beyond the 6,000 are not detailed in the available sources.
Early admission is possible for children born after September 30, 2020, under certain conditions. The school leadership will evaluate a child's readiness for school based on a school physician's assessment.
It's also worth mentioning that school travel costs are covered up to the nearest elementary school, provided the one-way distance is more than two kilometers. The distance to the nearest school is a deciding factor for a claim to travel cost coverage.
For more detailed information about the registration process, parents can contact the school leadership of their chosen elementary school. Further information can be found on the city of Dortmund's website (dortmund.de/dlzbildung).
