Applications for enrolment for each zone will be processed in the following order of priority, according to legislation:
First Priority         This priority category is not applicable to this school.
Second Priority    will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
Third Priority       will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
Fourth Priority     will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
Fifth Priority        will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.
Sixth Priority        will be given to all other applicants.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under the Education and Training Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by media suitable to the area served by the school.
Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
