Our school’s survey results
We attach our school’s survey results, which outlines:
The preferences of parents/guardians of children currently enrolled in your
school; and the results outline the preferences of parents/guardians for:
· Co-educational or single-sex provision
· Patronage/ethos
· Language of instruction (English or Irish)
Please note that results from staff and Board of Management surveys are not included, to protect people’s privacy, especially in smaller schools. These results will be used later if our school wishes to explore a change in configuration.
Guidance on how to understand the results
In summary, three factors should be considered:
· The response rate of parents/guardians
· The percentage preference shown in the results
· The margin of error
Actions for the Board of Management
The department has asked that we circulate our survey results and information to our school community.
The survey results will be published on the school website until 23rd of November 2026 and provide a school email address so members of the wider community can give feedback. This will help ensure everyone has a chance to see the survey results and share their views.
We will discuss feedback received at the Board of Management meeting on Tuesday 24th of November, 2026.
Any feedback please email us on: castlegalns@yahoo.ie
