Admissions

Admissions for 2024 -2025

Pre School Admissions will opened on Friday 10th January. 

The admissions process is run by the Education Authority through an online application portal - EA Connect .

We have 78 funded spaces across our three full time classes.  

We were selected to be part of the Pre-School Standardisation programme from 2025, so now only offer funded full-time places (4.5 hours each day). 

As we are usually oversubscribed we strongly recommend putting us as your first preference even with the increase in full-time places offered. 

Our Admissions Criteria for 2024-2025 is published on the EANI website here:

If you wish to apply for a pre-pre space the application is the same - please note that we can only accept pre-pre school children if our places are not filled with target age children.  Places for pre-pre aged children are allocated by age, with the eldest children being offered a place first. 

We are holding an Open Day for parents on 11th January, 10am - 11.30am to allow you to see around our school, outdoor areas and newly refurbished classrooms.  Please feel free to get in touch with the school for any information you need.  We will also be sharing information regularly through our social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram). 

We made an Online Open Day video a few years ago that you can watch to get a feel for our school and the happy, nurturing learning environment we can provide. Please note we no longer offer part time classes.
