Special Programmes

 

This priority category is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a Special programme approved by the Secretary.

 

 

Out of Zone Enrolments

 

Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

 

Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:

 

First Priority

This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.

 

Second Priority

will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.

​

Third Priority

will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

​

Fourth Priority

will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.

 

Fifth Priority

will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.

 

Sixth Priority    

will be given to all other applicants.

 

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary, under Schedule 20, Clause 3 (1) of the Education and Training Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school.

 

Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
