Names can be put on the admissions list from birth onwards. After placing your child’s name on the list please inform the school immediately if you move home or leave the area.

Admission to the school will be made in accordance with stated parental preferences it receives subject to the following criteria which will be used to form a priority order if there are more applications for admission than the school has places available. In each category Looked After Children will be given first priority.

2. Other baptised Roman Catholic children in another parish.

 
3. Other children.
* Resident refers to the child’s permanent home at the proposed date of admission.

Over-subscription criteria will be considered on the basis of the predominant address and parental preference.
# Sibling means a full, half or step brother or sister or legal adoptive sibling.
