No letter

No letter for Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigin

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 Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigin 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.

Who runs Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigin?

Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigin has a inter-denominational ethos. Its patron is An Foras Pátrúnachta.

How do pupils get a place at Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigin?

Apply to the school directly. It publishes an admission policy and a yearly admission notice with its dates; if more children apply than it has places, it admits on the criteria in its policy.
