Questions parents ask
- How do I find the secondary schools near me?
- Tap “Use my location” or type your town or the first part of your Eircode. We list the closest secondary schools first, with distance, size, boys and girls, type, fees, Irish-medium and DEIS side by side.
- Does living close to a school guarantee a place?
- No. When a school has more applicants than places, it decides using the criteria in its admission policy, such as brothers and sisters, a catchment area or named feeder secondary schools. Read the policy for the schools you like.
- Are the distances by road?
- No, they're straight-line distances. The walk or drive will usually be a little longer.
- Can I see only mixed schools, or only free schools?
- Yes. Once you've picked a location, choose mixed, girls or boys, and tick free schools only or Irish-medium to filter the list.
