Moving to Tramore/Dunmore East

beatriss

Hi all,

Thinking of relocating out of Waterford City to Tramore/Dunmore East.

Just a few questions if anyone can help me with:

What are the names of the Local Primary Schools in the above areas?

Any after school care in these areas that collects from the local schools?

Would there be a School bus from the above areas to De La Salle in Waterford?

Thanks

I can help you out with the Tramore part

Primary Schools
Holy Cross N.S
Glor na Mara N.S
Gaelscoil Trá Mhór
Fenor N.S (10 mins outside of Tramore, has a bus that goes from Tramore out - a smaller country school)
All the schools are mixed.

There are a couple of After school services in Tramore and they have mini buses that collect the kids from school at home time. Two that have buses off the top of my head are "Bizzy kids" and "little stars". I've heard very good things about Bizzy Kids but no personal experience I'm afraid. They collect from any of the schools listed above as far as I'm aware. Bizzy kids also has a before school service where they will drop the kids to school if you need to be in work before school starts.

Not sure about the De Le Salle bus.

My kids go to Little Stars and love it there.

They also have a bus that collect from the schools for after school care.

Very different places in fairness. Tramore is 7 times the size of Dunmore. It wouldn't get quiet to nearly the same extent in the winter months as the baseline population is so much larger. Some might prefer this of course.

It is a tough choice!

I lived in Waterford back in the 80's . Both are lovely locations in their own right.

I loved Dunmore East , the restaurants , bars, etc.

Tramore is obviously a much larger town now, while Dunmore East has retained it's village charm

Best wishes:)
