Parents wishing to enrol children in Junior Infants for next September are being asked to submit applications for enrolment during the month of February. Enrolment forms are available from the school office or alternatively may be downloaded here.
Applications must have a birth certificate attached. Those who have pre-enrolled must confirm their application in writing by filling out a new form which they will have received by post last month. All applications will be processed in March and places will be offered according to procedures outlined in the enrolment policy.
If your child’s application falls within criteria outlined in the enrolment policy please indicate this on your application. For example if he/she has a sibling in the school already. This policy can be viewed on the website. Queries about enrolment and education in an all-Irish school can be made to the school office. We will be more than happy to answer any questions.
