Those are two very different questions. It is correct that a school must be found for each child. But there is no obligation on any one particular school to take all children in the catchment area who want to attend - otherwise the 'good' schools would be filled past capacity and less good schools would be below capacity.Isn't there a requirement that a school within the encatchment area of where you're living has to take your child? As in a child can't be left without a school to go to?
Again, yes a place will be found but the OP is looking for guidance on 'good schools' where her child might get in - not just 'is there anywhere in Dublin where we'll find a place'.Perhaps ask that question on www.rollercoaster.ie but I think there has to be a school that takes them... as in that legally they're obliged to be at school and therefore one school has to accept them.
If you're likely to be in Kilmacud would you consider St Raphaela's a cousin of mine went there and really liked it, not sure what it's reputation is like now (or even if it is fee paying or not). No idea on waiting list.
Dear All,
Thank you so much for the help so far, but I need some more. I have been told from a few people that when moving from a different country esp with a girl. It is best to introduce her to a co ed school as there are less clicks etc and that she will have a better chance of fitting in. Although my daughter considers herself as being a true Irish girl, the reality is her schooling has been in an international system. Can you please also suggest Co Ed schools if you know of any.Obviously if there is no co eds which have place for her we will take an all girl school. Thank you so much once again...
As far as I am aware, Our Lady's Grove Clonskeagh (aka This post will be deleted if not edited immediately and Mary) has allocated all places for 1st years for 2013...Same with Wesley..
