This leaves 79 children on the waiting list for places in Junior Infants 2021 in our school. We are so sorry to disappoint so many families, in particular the 9 families who already have children in the school. The commencement of Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018 (Admission Policies and Admission of Students) Regulations 2020 last year means that we must offer places to all those who pre-enrolled prior to 31/1/2020 before we can offer places to any family who applied after that date. There remain 26 children on the waiting list who applied prior to 31/1/2020, categories 2, 3 and 4 - see below.
Parents of all children remaining on the waiting list received an email this morning, letting them know that all places have been filled.
Numbers on the waiting list are currently as follows - see details for each category here.
- Category 2: 7 children
- Category 3: 4 children
- Category 4: 14 children
- Category 5: 4 children
- Category 6: 29 children
- Category 7: 9 children
- Category 8: 1 child
- Category 9: 6 children
- Category 10: 5 children
We recommend that families apply to other schools in the area such as Rathcoole ETNS and Scoil Aoife CNS. We are also delighted to hear that another new school will open in the area this September, clearly much-needed: Gaelscoil Lir.
