No letter

No letter for St Joseph's Girls National School

Ireland publishes no exam results school by school, and section 53 of the Education Act 1998 restricts comparing schools by them, so this school has no letter and nothing here ranks it. Its facts are the Department of Education’s; its inspection reports are linked below.

What the Department of Education does publish for St Joseph's Girls National School is on this page: its pupils each September since 2015/16, girls and boys, its patron and ethos, whether it teaches through Irish, whether it is in DEIS, and its inspection reports.

Newspapers print lists of how many of a school’s leavers go on to college. Those count destinations, not exam results, and depend on who a school takes in; we don’t use them.

Getting in

Getting a place at St Joseph's Girls National School

Every school admits under its own published admission policy; no admissions numbers are published.

Families apply to St Joseph's Girls National School directly. Children can start once they are four and must be in school by six; the school’s yearly admission notice gives the dates for applying and for its decisions.

A school with more applicants than places admits on the criteria in its admission policy, often brothers and sisters, the area it serves and, for post-primary schools, its feeder primaries. A family refused a place can appeal.

It takes girls only. Places in special classes and special schools are allocated with the National Council for Special Education.

192 pupils in 2025/26. That is −13% since 2019/20.

Who runs St Joseph's Girls National School?

St Joseph's Girls National School has a Catholic ethos. Its patron is Bishop of Cork & Ross.

How do pupils get a place at St Joseph's Girls National School?
