Enrol with us

We would be delighted to welcome your family to our school. Carlow Educate Together NS has become hugely popular with families in Carlow Town and beyond and, therefore, we are often over-subscribed for school places. This page will help you enrol your child into our school in line with the Department of Education’s Admissions Bill.

Before you enrol...

You can enrol your child in our school any date between the 1st and 31st October before the following school year. Please read our Admission’s Policy for more information on our criteria.
You will be notified of the decision in relation to your application by 15th November of each year.
You must confirm acceptance of the offer of admission by 30th November of the same year or the offer may be withdrawn if you do not accept the offer of admission within the timeframe.
We enrol up to 50 pupils in Junior Infants each year. The special class has a maximum of 12 places and offers depend on the number of places available each year.

Enrolments for 2026-27 will commence in October 2025. For enrolments for this upcoming year, please email the school any time in July. The school office closes in August so you will need to wait until we reopen before trying to enrol.
