Admissions for 2021-2022 School Year
All Admission Policies have been approved by the Patron and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who worked so hard over the past few months to ensure that this task has been completed:
Next Steps for Boards of Management
- Ratify the Admission Policy and ensure that it is signed by Chairperson & Secretary of the Board
- Publish the Admission Policy on school website & make sure all documentation relating to previous admission/enrolment is taken down from the website. Posters outside of school building should only be displayed once the admission process has commenced. It might be useful to indicate on the website the date on which the school will begin to accept applications for admission (not before January 14; 2021)
- Send a copy of the signed policy to maeve.mahon@kandle.ie

- Prepare Admission Notice using the Admission Notice Template Please note that 14 January 2021 is the earliest date for beginning the admission’s process for the coming school year.
- Decide when to publish the Admission Notice and Applications for Admission Forms to the school website. (Please Note that the Admission Notice must be published at least 1 week before the date on when you begin to accept applications)
- Prepare response letters using the templates for Offer or No Offer
Boards of Management

Change of Chairperson of a Board of Management
The appointment of a new Chairperson of a Board of Management is only made after consultation with the Patron. The Patron is then responsible for informing the DES of the change. It is very important that this form is completed and returned as soon as the Patron has agreed to the appointment of a new Chairperson.
