Your child has the right to attend a local national primary school (4+ – 13 years) or secondary school (12 – 18 years).
Registering your Child for School:
- Find your local school and contact them directly to enrol your child.
- Ask your centre manager for help if needed.
Financial Support:
- To help cover the cost of uniforms, apply for the “The Back-to-School Clothing and Footwear Allowance”. Applications open in July and close in September. Speak to your Community Welfare Officer about an Exceptional Needs Payment.
- If your child takes transport to school, apply for “The School Transport Scheme”. If your child has a Medical Card their transport may be free.
