    My son was in the Gaelscoil until we moved, until end of second class. He was very happy there, no problems at all. It's very popular now I believe, might be hard to get a place in there.

    I know that there is a waiting list for the junior infants class starting in 2013 in kilcloon this year. THeir enrolment policy is on their website.
    It is a very good school and very popular, with people travelling from maynooth to have their children attend.
    Best of luck with your choice.

    It has been down for the past two weeks but is back up and running now.

    It is kilcloonns.org I think.


    It isn't that small for a rural school, with well over 200 on the roll, although on comparison with those in dunboyne and maynooth, where there several sets of students per year, it probably is. The classes are averaging around the 30 student mark i think. The principal is very approachable.

    I went to a primary school, with nearly 1000 kids :-)
    It is the same size as the other 3 schools so.
