    Hi,

    My eldest is due to start school next September 2012, and am looking for any expriences, knowledge or opinions from parents with children in either of the above schools. (I have ruled out Castaheany ET, and am only considering the above).

    I know St Benedicts is Catholic ethos and would be my preference. However I have heard that Scoil Grainne has very small classes, excellent resources etc.

    Feel free to send me a PM if you'd rather not post here.

    Many thanks.

    St Benedicts is grand from my experience of having a little one going there.
    however, you may not have a choice as to where you can send your child.
    it depends on where you live and the catchment area of the school.

    Thanks CurryAddict. Yes I am within the catchment area for St Benedicts. Can you give me an idea of class sizes, and also if there is good support in terms of language and special needs?
