Pre-enrolment in DPETNS

Enrolment legislation, introduced by Government, forbids schools from keeping waiting lists and our current 'first come, first served' policy is no longer legally acceptable after 2023. This means we cannot take pre-enrolment applications for new Junior Infant classes after the 1st of February 2020 or take pre-enrolments for children born after the 1st of May 2019.

An annual enrolment policy will be published in May each year.

Please note that a child cannot be pre-enrolled in our school until after their date of birth. Original birth certificates are required before admission to school. Any discrepancy between the date of birth given at registration and the date of birth on the child's birth certificate will immediately render the application to be invalid.

Pre-Enrolments for the 2022 & 2023 Academic Years

For the academic years 2022 and 2023 the school is obliged to first offer places based on our old enrolment policy (i.e. siblings first then first-come, first served). Places will be offered to the children on the waiting lists for these years first and only when this has happened the new Annual Admissions Policy will apply – this is in keeping with legislation. After 2023 only the Annual Admissions Policy will apply.

Junior Infant Enrolments in DPETNS for the Academic Year 2022/2023

We have 52 places for Junior Infants 2022/2023. The pre-enrolment list will open on the 1st of October 2021. There is a waiting list in place for this class. The first round offers will be issued on the 1st of October 2021 and will continue until all the places are filled.

Waiting lists for current classes throughout the school

We will continue to accept pre-enrolments for current classes.

All classes in our school are currently full with waiting lists. Realistically, it is very unlikely that any places will become available in the foreseeable future. If you wish to add your child's name to one of our waiting lists please complete the form below, selecting the relevant waiting list from the drop down list.

Please tick here to indicate you accept the following terms and conditions:

I understand that siblings of children already in the school will be given preference if enrolled at least two years before the date of entry.

I understand that, after sibling places are offered, allocation of places in the school is strictly on application date order (for further details please refer to the enrolment policy)

I understand that special provision is made for fostered/adopted children in our enrolment policy to ensure that their adopted/fostered status does not discriminate against them. I understand that it is the parent’s responsibility to inform the school of this information at pre enrolment (not when offers are being made).

I understand that it is my responsibility to inform the school of any change of contact details, or circumstances, i.e. change of address, telephone nos. email address, etc. I understand that a fully completed pre-enrolment form does not guarantee an offer of a place in the school.

I understand that I must reply to a confirmed offer of a place for a child within 14 days; otherwise the child’s place will be forfeited on the list.

I understand that I can defer a child’s place to the following academic year, but that this does not guarantee that the child will be offered a place the following year. (For further details please refer to the enrolment policy.)

I understand that DPETNS issues all parents/guardians with a confirmation letter on pre-enrolment of a child and that this letter is to be maintained by parents/guardians for reference.

I understand that it is my responsibility to inform the school if I have not received a confirmation of enrolment letter within 4 working weeks of returning the form to the school. I understand that Junior Infants must be 4 years of age, by 1st May, for the year they are being pre-enrolled.
