Rationale
As a school, regular attendance is essential to ensure that all children develop at the appropriate pace.

Nursery (Pink & Orange)

There is no minimum or maximum attendance in Pink or Orange Classes. However, children settle much more quickly if they come to school more often.
If there is a waiting list, priority will be given to families choosing full time.

Nursery (Green)

The minimum attendance in Green Class is 5 mornings.
If there is a waiting list, priority will be given to families choosing full time.

Staying longer at school

We offer morning sessions (9 am—12 noon) or (9 am—1 pm) and full day sessions (9 am—3 pm). If you start with mornings you can ask to go to full days at any time. If you are not sure, you can add one full day at a time to see if your child is ready to cope. Part time children have the option to stay in school for lunch and go home at 1 pm. Children in Pink and Orange are able to sleep in the afternoon if you would like them to.

Primary (P1 –P7)

All groups must attend full-time.

If your child is going to be absent for any reason, please inform the office on 021 3803535 / 3803636.
