- Characteristic spirit and general objectives of the school
Castletownshend National School is a Roman Catholic Primary School recognised by the Department of Education and Science as a Mixed Primary School under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Cork and Ross.
As a Roman Catholic School, Castletownshend N.S. aims at promoting the full and harmonious development of all pupils cognitive, intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual, including a living relationship with God and other people. The school models and promotes a philosophy of life inspired by belief in God and in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the religious education we provide is in accordance with the doctrines, traditions and practices of the Catholic Church, we respect and acknowledge the diverse beliefs, religious and ways of life of peoples of all faiths and none.
In keeping with the characteristic spirit and ethos of the school which strives to cherish all our pupils equally we seek to promote
(i) inclusiveness, especially with reference to the enrolment of children with disabilities or other special educational needs
(ii) equality, with respect to maximum access and participation in the school
(iii) parental choice in relation to choice of school and having regard to the characteristic spirit of the school
(iv) respect for the diversity of values, beliefs, traditions, languages and ways of life in society.
The school is a mixed co-educational school catering for the full range of primary school pupils from infants to sixth class.
The school is dependent on the grants and the teacher resources it receives from the Department of Education and Science. It operates within the rules and regulations laid down from time to time by the Department. It follows the curricular programme prescribed by the Department which may be amended from time to time in accordance with Sections 9 and 30 of the Education Act 1998. The services provided by the school are dependent on the resources and funds available to the school.
Rationale
This policy aims to ensure that the appropriate procedures are in place to enable the school
- To make decisions on all applications in an open and transparent manner consistent with the Ethos, the mission Statement of the school and legislative requirements
- To make accurate and appropriate assessment of the capacity of the school to cater for the needs of applicants in the light of the resources available to it and in light of the needs of the pupils already enrolled in the school or particular class groupings.
- To put in place a framework which will ensure effective and productive relations between students, parents and teachers where a student is admitted to the school.
Goals
The school shall have in place appropriate channels of communication and procedures
- To inform parents about the school, it’s programmes, activities, and procedures
- To enable applications for admission to the school to be handled in an open, transparent manner
- To put in place criteria under which applications shall be considered
- To ensure that these criteria are informed by our Ethos, our Mission Statement & current legislation

Context, Resources, School Organisation & Curriculum
The school supports the principle of equality for all students regarding access to and participation in the school. The school respects the diversity of traditions, values, beliefs, languages and ways of life in society. The school acknowledges the right of parents to send their children to a school of the parent’s choice, subject to the resources available to the school including classroom accommodation, class size, teaching resources and financial resources and subject to the capacity of the school to provide for the needs of any applicant or student. The school is staffed in accordance with the standard pupil – teacher ratios sanctioned by the Department and any additional teaching hours sanctioned by the Department in respect of curricular concessions, special needs, special programmes etc. The school operates within the regulations laid down by the Department of Education.
The capacity of the school to implement its desired curriculum, its broad range of educational programmes, its breadth of extra-curricular activities, its school plan and policies are dependent on the resources it receives. Consequently, in determining its activities and programme for any school year the school must have due regard to the teaching, management and administrative resources and the accommodation, equipment and funding available to it.

Policy Considerations
The Board of Management of Castletownshend National School reserves the right of admission if such admissions contravene Departmental guidelines on class size, etc.
The school will not refuse a child on the basis of ethnicity, special education needs, disability, traveller status, refugee status, political or religious beliefs, family or social circumstances, provided the necessary supports are in place in the school. Reference to Castlehaven Parish in our criteria for enrolment is on the basis of commitments from this Parish to the school and our school ethos.
The school will maintain a list of refused applicants for each class, their place on that list having been determined under the criteria outlined.
The Board of Management respects parental choice in relation to enrolment, provided the enrolment criteria are fulfilled.
While recognising the right of parents to enrol their child in the school of their choice, the Board of Management of Castletownshend N.S. is also responsible to respect the rights of the existing school community and in particular, the children already enrolled. This requires balanced judgements, which are guided by the principals of natural justice and acting in the best interest of all children. Assisting the school in such circumstances, the B.O.M. reserves the right to determine the maximum number of children in each separate classroom bearing in mind:
- Health & Safety Concerns regarding Staff and Children
- Available classroom space
- Multi-grade classes
- Educational needs of the children
- Presence of children with special needs/ or behavioural needs
- Department of Education & Science class size directives
- Appropriate Supports and Resources are available
- Time of school year.
- Castletownshend National School will cooperate with the National Council for Special Education in the performance by the Council of its functions under the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004 relating to the provision of education to children with special educational needs, including in particular by the provision and operation of a special class or classes when requested to do so by the Council.
- Castletownshend National school will comply with any direction served on the patron or the board, as the case may be, under section 37A and any direction served on the board under section 67(4B) of the Education Act.
Admission of Students
This school shall admit each student seeking admission except where –
- the school is oversubscribed (please see section 6 below for further details)
- a parent of a student, when required by the principal in accordance with section 23(4) of the Education (Welfare) Act 2000, fails to confirm in writing that the code of behaviour of the school is acceptable to him or her and that he or she shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with such code by the student
| Castletownshend N.S is a Roman Catholic School and may refuse to admit as a student a person who is not Catholic where it is proved that the refusal is essential to maintain the ethos of the school. |
Oversubscription
In the event that the school is oversubscribed, the school will, when deciding on applications for admission, apply the following selection criteria in the order listed below to those applications that are received within the timeline for receipt of applications as set out in the school’s annual admission notice:
Enrolment of Junior Infants
For parents/guardians of Junior infants wishing to enrol their children, the school organises two “Enrolment Afternoons” in early February. These days are advertised locally in shops, public notice boards, Parish Newsletter and local newspaper. Parents will be encouraged to attend one of these open afternoons with their child to familiarise themselves with the school layout and meet the Principal. Applications for Enrolment can be completed and submitted on these days. Enrolment packs containing essential policies and information about our school will also be available at these open afternoons.
Junior Infant Enrolment Criteria
If the number of children applying for enrolment exceeds the number of places available, the following prioritising criteria are used:
| Priority | Criterion |
| 1 | Priority is given to brothers and sisters of children already in the school or who have attended the school in the past. If the class is over subscribed on the basis of this criterion, then places will be allocated on the basis of age, starting with the oldest applicant, until all places are allocated. |
| 2 | Families whose primary residence is either(a) in the immediate areas of Castlehaven Civil Parish, catchment area, starting closest to the school and radiating outwards from the school within the Parish or(b) in the neighbouring parishes but within a 2 mile distance by road from the school. If the class is oversubscribed within the application of this particular criterion, then the furthest from the school under either (a) or (b) will be eliminated first. |
| 3 | Children of current teaching or ancillary staff. |
| 4 | Children of parents who are past pupils of the school. If the class is oversubscribed within the application of this particular criterion, then those whose primary residence is furthest from the school will be eliminated first. |
| 5 | If space is still available, class numbers are completed from the Waiting List The criteria are listed in order of priority when spaces are allocated under criterion 1 and space is still available, then criterion 2 comes into play and so on. This prioritization proceeds until all places have been allocated. |
Please note:
The Board is also bound by the DES regulation which stipulates that any child must be four years old before he/she can be enrolled in a National School. The Board of Management strongly recommends that applicant children are at least four years of age and ideally 5 years of age on or before 1st January of the school commencement year.
In the event that there are two or more students tied for a place or places in any of the selection criteria categories above (the number of applicants exceeds the number of remaining places), the following arrangements will apply:
| The oldest applicants will be prioritised. |
Enrolment of Pupils with Special Needs
Children with special educational needs are welcome to enrol in Castletownshend N.S. and every effort will be made to provide them with an appropriate education as well as to include them in every aspect of school life. The Board of Management would encourage parents/ guardians of children with additional needs to make contact with the school principal after 1st October of the year previous to their child’s enrolment. Applications for the enrolment of children with special needs must furnish the Board with a copy of the child’s medical and/or psychological report or, where such is not available, to request that the child be assessed immediately. The purpose of the assessment report is to assist the school in establishing the educational needs of the child relevant to his/her special needs and to profile the support services required.
Following receipt of the report, the Board should assess how the school could meet the needs specified in the report. Where the Board deems that further resources are required, it will demand that, before the child can be enrolled, the DES provide the required resources to meet the needs outlines in the psychological or medical report. These resources may include provision of some or all of the following: SET teacher for special needs, special needs assistant, specialised equipment, furniture, wheelchair access. The Board may decide to defer enrolment until proper resources are in place.
The Board would meet with the parents of the child to discuss the child’s needs and the school’s suitability or capability to provide those needs. It may deem it necessary to hold a full case conference which may include parents, class teacher, SET teacher, special needs assistant, psychologist, speech therapist etc.
Exceptional Circumstances
The school reserves the right to refuse enrolment to a pupil in exceptional cases. Such an exceptional case could arise where either:
1. The pupil has special needs such that, even with additional resources available from the Department of Education and Science, the school cannot meet such needs and/or provide the pupil with an appropriate education.
2. In the opinion of the Board of Management, the pupil poses an unacceptable risk to other pupils, to school staff or to school property.
(see Appeals Procedure below)
