New Entrants September 2026

May 2026

Hello and welcome to all families of Junior Infants joining us in September 2026

We’re so excited to begin this journey with you. Over the coming months, we’ll share everything you need to know right here on this thread. We’ll let you know each time new information is added.

Each child starting school has reached a very important milestone, and we understand how crucial a smooth transition from pre-school to primary school is. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

We’re delighted to invite you to our first orientation event; an Open House on Thursday, May 28th, between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 midday. You’re welcome to pop in at any stage during that window of time. This short visit will give your child a chance to see their new classroom and have a look around. Parents stay with their child for the duration of the short visit.

We’re delighted to announce that we will be running a Summer Camp for our incoming Junior Infants to 4th Class pupils from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th June.  It’s a great way for the new children to get familiar with the school, meet new friends, and have lots of fun before the school year begins! Save the date! For more information and to book a place, click here.

Term 1 Begins

We are looking forward to welcoming all our new pupils to Ard Rí Community National School for their first day of big school on Thursday 1st of September at 10:00 a.m.
