    Hi all,

    I'm looking for recommendations for co-ed secondary schools around the Dunlaoghaire / Blackrock / Stillorgan areas (and within close proximity to these areas).

    They must be non fee paying and preferably non-denominational.

    I'm also against having to fork out a fee which I can't afford, to submit an application for my kids. Do any schools accept applications within insisting on a fee of 100 Eur approx.??

    Any info/advice greatly appreciated.

    Newpark is an obvious one and that's in Blackrock. Technically there aren't "non denominational" schools in Ireland, they are multi denominational

    I should've mentioned that I have my child's name down for this school since the first week they started in one of the feeder schools, but I need to get application forms into a few other schools incase they don't get a place.

    there doesn't seem to be any others, the other ones I can think of are fee paying Andrews and Killians.

    A lot of community schools are non denominational and co-ed, have you looked at any of those?

    They aren't really. The co-ed ETB school near us is very reluctant to allow opting out of the RE programme and has masses and prayers during the school day. Religious bodies often sit on the boards of management of these schools also, and impact on the ethos of the school. There aren't any non-denom schools in Ireland funded by the state, all have some sort of religious influence or are multi denom.
