Admission to Junior Infants
Most new pupils join Ballymitty NS in Junior Infants when they are about 5 years old. If you would like your child to be admitted to Junior Infants, the first thing you need to do is to submit an Application for Admission by filling out the Admission/Enrolment forms available on our website.
Each year, Ballymitty NS publishes its Annual Admission Notice on its website. This notice states the date by which Applications for Admission for Junior Infants for the following September must be received by the school.
It also confirms the date by which you must be notified of the offer of a school place for your child and the deadline for accepting that offer.
Admission to our autism classes
If you would like your child to be admitted to our autism class for children on the autism spectrum, please call the office or visit us here in Ballymitty NS to request an Application/Enrolment Form for Admission.
Each year, Ballymitty NS publishes its Annual Admission Notice on its website. The dates by which Applications for Admission to An Choill for the following September must be received will be the same as per Junior Infants, as will the date for the notification of the offer of a school place and the deadline for accepting that offer.
There are only two classes for pupils with autism in our school - a total of 12 places. Places do not become available until someone leaves in 6th class or mid year. Therefore, places are difficult to get. An enrolment in our school in a mainstream class is not a guarantee of a placement in one of our special classes.
Admission to Classes other than Junior Infants & Admission during the School Year
New families join Ballymitty NS when they move to Ballymitty from other parts of Ireland or from overseas. Often, these families move here for work or as a lifestyle choice and their children join classes from Junior Infants to 6th Class.
If you are interested in securing a school place for your child in Ballymitty NS, please complete an Application for Admission by filling out the Enrolment Form on our school website.
