Enrolment for children into Junior Infants of the following year opens in early October of the year prior to enrolment. It is important that you apply before the closing date, otherwise your child may be placed on a waiting list (if we are oversubscribed).
If you are looking to have your child enrolled in a class in the current school year (Junior Infants to 6th Class), please register online and/or email Clare in the office. If you are late applying for Junior Infants (i.e. after the enrolment period), please contact the office.
Please see our Admission Policy and Annual Admissions Notice for further information.
A wide range of fun afterschool clubs and classes (run by external providers) from 1.30pm and 2.30pm is available for our pupils, including Short Tennis, Speech & Drama, Irish Dancing, STEAM Academy, Creative Keyboarding, Basketball, Chess and Art Zone.
The children are brought directly to the club/class by their teacher. Please see our full outline of clubs/classes with links to the providers in THIS PAGE (link to be added). Updated information is shared with parents/guardians at the beginning of each school year in the newsletter (link to be added).
Parents/guardians are also fortunate to have a number of providers of before and afterschool services in the local area. These providers do drop-offs and collections at our school hours and are a valuable service to many parents/guardians. Click here for a list of some of some of these providers. (link to be added)
