Important Information for applications to special classes.
As per circular 80/2024, parents/guardians should notify the NCSE prior to making an application for admission to a special class. The NCSE will discuss with families the range of available options to meet their child’s needs as identified in available reports. This notification to the NCSE, together with the submission of the child’s relevant reports, should occur as early as possible. Notification should be made before 1 February. However, some children may not receive a diagnosis and/or a recommendation for a special class until a later time, and the NCSE will continue to work to support these children. Parents/guardians will be provided with a letter from the NCSE confirming the outcome of the NCSE’s review of the supporting evidence provided, which they can then give to the school/s as part of their application for enrolment in a special
class.
The NCSE Special Education Needs Officer (SENO) for our area is Mairéad Penny: email: Mairead.Penny@ncse.ie
