All transfer applications to the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Year Groups in Ballinrobe Community School other than to the Special Class, will only be accepted from the 14/04/2026 and the closing date for receipt of applications is the 05/05/2025.
Applications received after this date will be considered and processed as late applications in accordance with the school’s Admission Policy. Equally, any transfer applications received during the current academic year, i.e. before June 2026, to transfer into a year group immediately, will be treated as a late application where the application window for transferring into the school for the academic year 2025/2026 took place during the previous academic year and anyone who did not receive a place at that time was put on a waiting list. Therefore, any available places that arise in that year group during the 2025/2026 academic year will be filled from that waiting list, until that list expires at the end of the academic year 2025/2026.
Please be reminded that, in line with the school’s Admission Policy and the Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018, all waiting lists going forward are only in place for the academic year to which they apply. Therefore, if a student is seeking a place in the Special Class and is not successful in a given academic year or is on a waiting list for this year, a new application must be made for the following year.
All transfer applications to the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Year Groups other than to the Special Class, for the following academic year will be notified of an offer of a place or refusal of admission by: 03/06/2026
Successful transfer applications to the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Year Groups other than to the Special Class, in the following academic year must confirm their acceptance of an offer of admission by completing and returning the Acceptance Form on or
before: 2 weeks after the Acceptance Forms and Letters of Offer are issued
Note: Failure to accept an offer of admission before the relevant deadline set out above, or that stated on any letter of offer, may result in the offer being withdrawn.
