School recommendations South Dublin

wiola123

Hi, I'm looking for school recommendations for my son. He's only two at the moment but I keep hearing there are really long waiting lists in Dublin. I am looking for a state national school, either Catholic or multidimensional. I work between Kimmage and Blackrock and we will be moving to Blackrock this summer

Also, he is in a crèche at the moment but could anyone explain me when will he go to pre school/ Montessori and how those work? I'm not really sure what happens after crèche...

If he’s already two, I’d advise casting your net wide and applying to many schools. Most schools in south Dublin have children’s names on the list from they are newborn.

You could try to find some schools where the admissions policy states they don’t take names before the January or September prior to the child starts school. That way, your child has a better chance of getting a place.

Wiola the schools in Blackrock take the names the year before you start school.

Ring all the schools that you are interested in and ask for their enrolment policies,some you will be too late for others will only take names the year before.
