Steps
- Open the current school-year preinscription campaign or, for late arrivals, the Barcelona out-of-period schooling route.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
- Rank the preferred schools and prepare identity/filiation and priority-criterion evidence for the current campaign.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
- Submit the application and complete matrícula after a place is assigned.edubcn.cat
That is the whole procedure
If you would rather go through yours with someone, describe it to NEXO first. You will find out what applies to you, and whether you need a person.
What to bring
- Parent/guardian and child identity/filiation documents accepted by the current campaign.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
- Evidence supporting any priority criterion that is not verified automatically.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
What the official sources say
School-assignment dates and detailed criteria change by school year, so NEXO must link the current campaign rather than hard-code an old deadline.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
Padró/address information can be used for proximity scoring, but families must use their real habitual address.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
Barcelona provides an out-of-period schooling route for qualifying late-arrival/change cases; missing the ordinary campaign does not automatically mean waiting a full year.edubcn.cat
What we see in practice
NEXO's own observations. They are not official information and carry no source.
- Treat campaign dates as yearly content, not permanent service metadata.
Questions people ask
Does my child need an NIE?
Not universally; current campaign instructions accept different identity documents depending on the situation.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
What if we arrive in the middle of the school year?
Use Barcelona's out-of-period schooling process where the conditions apply.edubcn.cat
Does missing a vaccine record automatically block school admission?
Do not state that as a universal admission rule unless the current stage/campaign instructions require it.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
What gets it refused or delayed
- Required identity/filiation or priority evidence is missing, or the application uses inaccurate address/criterion information.preinscripcio.gencat.cat
Does any of this sound like you?
- No place is available, the child has special educational needs requiring coordinated placement, or custody/address facts are disputed.
Cases like these need someone to look at the details. Describe yours to NEXO and we will tell you what applies and what to do next.
