Primary 1 & Pre-School Applications

Applications for P1 and pre-school open on Friday 10th January 2025 @ 12 noon for pupils due to start in September 2025 and are completed online via the Education Authority's website.

Below you will find information about applying for P1 & pre-school. 

This year are able to provide tours of the school with our Principal Mr Gray. You will have the chance to see our school in operation and ask any questions specific to your child and your family.

Tours can now be booked starting on Monday 11th November 2024 right through until applications close on Friday 24th January 2025. 

Tours will last approximately 40 minutes and can be booked by clicking here.  

Parents who wish to visit pre-school can indicate this on their booking form. This will give you a chance to speak with pre-school leader Necole and then tour the rest of the school. Please note that the final pre-school tour on most days is 2pm. 

Below you can watch videos about our school. One is a parents' prospective about why you should choose our school. The second is Mr Gray explaining what makes our school unique. 

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment to visit the school please get in touch with the school office on 028 9181 3827, email Mr Gray on jgray246@c2ken.net or contact us through our Facebook page.
