No problem. What part of the North East are you thinking of moving to?

i would just say send them to any secondary school but maybe you are looking for particular religious or same sex schools?

To tell you the truth, I think the best school to go to in Navan is ST. Pats. It is a boy's only school, but the teachers are excellent in it. If you kids want to leard they will do really well in Pats. The school has a strong anti-bullying policy, so there are no worries there. There are a few polish people in the school, all of which are very desent people, well actually the majority of people that go to the school are very nice people.
The only thing is that you would want to get your name down quick because places are going quick.

St Pats is a nightmare for non national people.
Its way to strict for newcomers.
Beaufort College has as many foreigners as nationals.
Loads of poles, boys girls the lot

I am not looking for religious or same sex schools. I am just looking for the most suitable school for them.

I have one more question.
How education system looks in Ireland? Is it similiar to UK?

Not really Nobis

At age 15/16 kids do a set of exams called the junior certificate. In days gone by this had value in the workplace but now its really an indicator as to how they are getting on. At 17/18 they do a leaving cert which is usually seven subjects, English, Irish, Maths and four others. These are taken into account for further education, eg University. You need to check what exemptions your kids will be entitled to eg They wont have to do Irish I hope!!

Its possible to do the UK system of A levels in Ireland but I dont knwo much about it. I know you can do them in Newry but that is maybe to far for you.
