    Hi everyone!
    I'm moving to Clonmel due to work and need a little info about primary schools there. My little girl will be going into first class and at mo goes to a mixed school. I'd appreciate any feedback on your experiences of the town's schools and if there are waiting lists.
    Thanks in advance for any advice and info!

    We're RC but are open to a multi-denominational school. I don't know much about the town or where we'll live in Clonmel as I just got the job offer today :-)

    I think there's 3 primary schools in the town (mid 20's myself and have since left the town)

    Sisters of Charity - All girls
    Presentation Primary - All girls
    Gaelscoil - Mixed

    May have more in the town now, but those were the options back when I was in primary school (1990s)

    If you go slightly outside the town you have Rathkeevin and Powerstown, both mixed and would have good reps. Personally, I would probably try the Sisters of Charity, Gaelscoil, Presentation, Powerstown then Rathkeevin.
    You also have St Olivers which is a DEIS scoil.
    If you want any more info feel free to PM me.

    would also recommend Grange. I went there as a child and intend to start my daughter there in 2015. Fantastic school.

    Grange is a lovely school but I would be wary of sending my child to a parish in which I was not living.
    When they come home in the evening none of their friends are local and children can feel a bit isolated.

    To be honest, your best bet would be to ring the schools ASAP to see the enrolment status as many may not be taking additional pupils. I know our school currently has 30 enrolled for September and doesn't plan on accepting many more (if any).
