In Willow Park Junior School there are new class groupings each year in Junior Infants, 2nd Form, 3rd Form & 6th Form
Willow families will know that the school creates additional class groupings in 2nd Form (classes are newly mixed) and 3rd Form every year. A small number of students are also added in 1st Form. This facilitates parents who wish to send their 7/8 year old son (post Infants) to Willow and the tradition harks back to the origins of the school when boys joined Willow in preparation for their First Holy Communion. An additional 6th Form group was added at the beginning of the Academic Year 2022 and has been a great success.
Thus, if pupils have not entered the school in Infants, the ideal time to join Willow is in 2nd Form, 3rd Form or 6th Form when these new groups are formed. No additional places are created in 4th Form and a very small number may be added in 5th Form. There is always a very high demand for the new 6th Form class from siblings and son’s of past students, making it difficult for many students to be offered a place.
If offered a place in any of the year groups, please know that there is no longer an option to request a particular class group to be placed in. The School will take responsibility on placing the boys in their new classes.
