The NCSE Parents Notify service is now available for parents and guardians seeking a Special Class or Special School placement for their child for the 2027/2028 school year. A Letter of Eligibility is required when applying for a place in a Special Class or Special School. It confirms that your child meets the NCSE eligibility criteria to be considered for this type of placement.
Parents/ Guardians must notify the NCSE by 1st September 2026 and have all relevant documentation to support the application by 15th September 2026. Information required for this application along with the link to complete the form can be found via this link: https://www.ncse.ie/parents/current-application-processes/parents-notify-special-class-special-school-placement/
After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. The NCSE will review your information, and your local SENO will contact you with the outcome. If your child meets the eligibility criteria, you will receive a Letter of Eligibility, which is required when applying to Special Classes and Special Schools.
Please note: A Letter of Eligibility does not guarantee a school place and is not an application for admission. It is a required supporting document that must be included when applying directly to schools with Special Classes or Special Schools. Parents must still apply directly to schools in line with our school's admissions policy:
