Pupils Leaving School Early

Parents/guardians calling during the day to take pupils home early for any reason must report to the secretary’s office and record the reason for taking pupils out early.

Absences

If a child is absent from school for any reason, a note of explanation should be given to the class teacher (see back of homework journal). If a child is absent for a total of 20 days or more during the school year, the school is obliged to notify the National Education Welfare Board. For further details about school attendance, please see our Attendance Policy in the policies section.

Enrolment

Parents should complete an application for enrolment form and include a birth certificate with their application. Completing an application for enrolment form does not entitle the child to a place in the school.

In the event that there are more applicants than there are places, the Board will allocate the places as per the enrolment policy.
