No letter

No letter for Scoil Naomh Seosamh

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 Scoil Naomh Seosamh 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 Scoil Naomh Seosamh

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

Families apply to Scoil Naomh Seosamh 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.

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

Who runs Scoil Naomh Seosamh?

Scoil Naomh Seosamh has a Catholic ethos. Its patron is Bishop of Cork & Ross.

How do pupils get a place at Scoil Naomh Seosamh?
