Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 February 2023
242. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education if she will provide details of each school in each of the Wicklow school planning areas, national and secondary; the capacity of each school; the current enrolment figures for each school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6045/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn relation to school admissions, it is the responsibility of the managerial authorities of all schools to implement an enrolment policy in accordance with the Education Act, 1998 and the Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018. My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking school places in that area.
Parents have the right to choose which school to apply to and where the school has places available the pupil should be admitted. However, in schools where there are more applicants than places available, a selection process will be necessary. This selection process and the enrolment policy on which it is based must be non-discriminatory and must be applied fairly in respect of all applicants. However, this may result in some pupils not obtaining a place in the school of their first choice.
The act requires schools to clearly set out their selection criteria in their admission policies. Schools have discretion in relation to their admission criteria and how they are applied. Some schools may apply a catchment area as one of their selection criteria. The criteria to be applied by schools and the order of priority are a matter for the schools themselves. My Department does not seek to intervene in the selection criterion that is applied by schools.
The Enrolment Data for each school requested is supplied in the tables below:
