Enrolment has started

2/2/2021

 
Yesterday, 1st February, we sent our first round of offers for places in Junior Infants 2021. While the email of offer was welcome news for some, there were many disappointed by the email letting them know that their child remains on the waiting list. We hope to outline the process here so that those who are disappointed can understand the process. 

In late 2019, we were instructed to stop taking pre-enrolments for future years on 31st January 2020. In line with new national legislation, our new admissions policy was created in 2020.

The school has no autonomy over who is placed where on the list. We must follow our policy, which follows national legislation. School admission is a formal process protected by law and exceptions cannot be made.

There are 10 categories for admission, outlined below. Children are listed in order of categories and within each category according to the policy. Places are offered in order of this list.
