All enrolment applications go through this website as per the current admissions notice below.
The Department of Education brought in new legislation in 2020 which means schools can only take Junior Infant applications in the autumn before the children are due to start primary school. There will be a 3-week time period where we can accept Junior Infant applications via the link to the online form below. If you apply after this time, it will be a “late” application.
If you follow us on facebook, and keep an eye on this website, you’ll see notifications that the admissions process is opening & you can start your application.
If you want to apply to transfer a child who is already in another school, please use the online form link below at any time, and choose the class you wish to apply for.
When we receive the application, your child’s name will be added to an intake list, and we will confirm receipt of the pre-enrolment application by email.
If you have any questions or require more information please get in touch.
