Procedure for Enrolment (as outlined in the school's Enrolment Policy)

• Whitechurch NS is a Church of Ireland managed school however, we welcome pupils of all religions and none. We are an inclusive school and pride ourselves on our balanced and inclusive approach to religion. No faith formation takes place during school time- Communion/ Confirmation etc. is organised outside of the normal school day by parents with the local parishes. Our RE programme is the Follow Me programme which does not prescribe what to think- it encourages children TO think! Other world religions are studied as part of this programme. Children of all religions and none attend our school very successfully alongside each other and parents value our Christian and inclusive ethos. We are always happy to answer any questions you might have about our school so please feel free to arrange a meeting or phonecall. 

• The school was set up and has a duty to provide school places for the members of the minority religion, Church of Ireland, and other Protestant children in the locality firstly (that is why religion is a section that can be completed on our enrolment forms). However, once those pupils have been offered places, any remaining places are then offered to other pupils. Siblings of those attending already will receive preference within each category.
