Primary Schools in Cork City (possibly Blackrock)

    Hello,

    We are moving back to Cork from England but need to sell our house and buy a new one so realistically won't have an address in Cork until June 2015. We hope to live in Blackrock. Our son will be due to start in Junior Infants in September 2015.

    A couple of questions please:

    1. Am I right to assume that all good primary schools are over-subscribed and our chances of getting a place that late in the year will be extremely slim?

    2. Does anyone have any views on or experience of Rockboro? It seems very convenient and we could just about manage the fees but is it a good, nurturing school and which secondary schools does it typically feed into?

    3. We are tempted by Christians Prep School but the city centre location is very off-putting as it will mean a commute through the city by car and all the hassle that entails.

    Many thanks!
