Enrolment tip for expats: Contact schools directly to ask about their admissions policy. Multi-denominational schools (Educate Together, ETB Community Schools) typically use a first-come, first-served system with no religious criterion. For Catholic schools, a baptismal certificate is often required as an oversubscription criterion only. Fee-paying schools set their own admissions criteria — contact them directly. Check the school's website first, then phone.
