"Developing Confident Achievers for the World Community"

The current policy is to admit children who have reached the compulsory age, i.e. those children whose fourth birthday falls on or before 1st July, to the Primary 1 class on the first day of the Autumn Term. Parents whose children will be attending this school for the first time are invited in on an evening before the end of the summer term to talk to the Principal and teachers. The suppliers of the school uniform will also be in attendance. Admissions Criteria - Year 1 The Board of Governors of St Mary's Primary School, Altinure, has determined that the following criteria shall be applied by them in the event of the number of pupils applying for places in Year 1 being greater than the admissions number Admissions Criteria Years 2 - 7 Pupils will be considered for enrolment provided that: - i. The school would not exceed its enrolment number. - ii. In the opinion of the Board of Governors their admission would not prejudice the efficient use of the school's resources. If at the time of the consideration of the application there are more eligible applicants than places available, then the Admissions Criteria for entry to Year 1 pupils of compulsory school age will be applied.
