ADMISSION
If the school's enrolment and admission numbers have not been reached the school will enrol all the children whose parents wish them to attend. The Board of Governors will apply the admission criteria only where there is over subscription for :
  a. places beyond the physical capacity of the school,
  b.  places beyond the admission number for Primary I

or  

 c. places beyond the maximum class size.
Admission Criteria
P1 intake
The following criteria will be applied in order by the Board of Governors in selecting pupils for admission to PI in September. Priority will be given to children of compulsory school age.
(The maximum size for a PI class will be 30)
1. Preference will be given to those children with a brother/ sister (half-brother/sister) either currently in attendance at the school, or with a brother/ sister (half-brother / sister) who will be in attendance at the commencement of the next school year.
2. Preference will be given to children on the basis of proximity of their home to the school, ie those children whose home is closer to this school than any other controlled primary school (as measured by die nearest acceptable walking route).
3. Preference will be given to children who previously had a brother / sister (half-brother / sister in attendance at the school).
4. Preference will be given to compulsory school age children from other areas.

No pupils will be admitted beyond the school's physical capacity as determined by the Department of Education.
