Dear Parents of 5th & 6th Class pupils,
Selecting the right post-primary school is an important milestone for every family. We are proud that children from Ard Rí CNS have been accepted into all of the post-primary schools in Navan.
Most schools begin their enrolment process in early October, usually launched at their Open Evening.
Please find the Open Evening times listed below. Further details will be available on each school’s website and social media channels.
Remember: Parents are responsible for making applications to Post Primary Schools on behalf of their children. Acceptance is not guaranteed, so I advise you to apply to more than one school.
Enrolment can only be secured for pupils in 6th Class, however I encourage you to gather as much information as you can when your child is in 5th Class so you can make the best decision.
If you require any support printing or filling out forms please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to help you.
