Enrolment into First Year Cohort

Children will be enrolled into 1st Year on receipt of a completed online Application Form and a copy of their birth cert during the specified 3 week time-frame from October 22nd 2026 to November 13th 2026.

Our Open Night/ Enrolment Night is Thurs Oct 22nd from 7pm- 9pm. This is to facilitate sixth class students visiting Cnoc Mhuire.

Prospectuses and QR codes for online application forms are distributed to each 6th class student in all our feeder schools prior to Open Night. Applications after Nov 13th will be processed as late applications. Parents must accept the school’s Code of Positive Behaviour and agree that their son/ daughter will abide by it.

Parents will be informed that they have a place by Dec 4th 2026 and they must accept this place by Dec 18th 2026. If the school is oversubscribed, placement will be offered to children who meet the following selection criteria:

• Those who come from feeder schools within the catchment area
• Siblings of pupils already attending the school
• Sons/daughters of past students
• If a grandparent is a past pupil
• Any other student

Parents and Guardians seeking placement for their child in a new special class or special school for the school year 2027/2028, should continue to notify NCSE via the parents notify system which is outlined on the NCSE website at: https://ncse.ie/notify-ncse-special-class-special-school

This must be completed by Sept 30th 2026. Currently Solas, our special class for students with autism is full.
