The school enrolment process here in Mayo is very different from that back in Somerset. We actually had a choice of at least four schools. None of the primary schools here are over-subscribed, in fact they are all very keen on getting extra pupils as their funding level is dependant on the number of pupils enrolled. Once you've selected your school you fill in a brief enrolment form and that's the process completed.
Freya started school this Thursday. She has been very excited about going to school ever since she spent a morning there before the summer holidays, and was also looking forward to getting to wear her new school uniform. She ran off into the classroom happily on her first morning and didn't show any signs of nerves, I think I was more nervous than she was. I mentioned in an earlier post that Freya is attending Gort Jordan school. After visiting a couple of open days and chatting to the teachers, we decided to go with the most local which was about in the middle size-wise of the ones we looked at. They are all tiny though! Gort Jordan has less than 50 pupils split into two classes with a range of ages in each class.
