Ireland education advice

[astrid1234]

Hi, we are moving to Ireland in September and I needed to find a school for my 13 yr old daughter. I was hoping for a small, nurturing girls independent school but open to whatever is the best school. We are flexible on location but she wants to be a day student. My daughter loves sport and showjumping so a sporty school would be a bonus. She is also dyslexic so a school that would support that too. Any advice on schools or areas would be amazing! I know it is a lot to ask but any advice would be appreciated thank you

What area of Ireland are you moving too?

That should be ‘to’ obviously, not ‘too’!

You say you are flexible but does that mean literally anywhere in the country?

Ideally we would like to be within a couple of hours from cork but yes anywhere in the country but close to an airport (1.5hr away max)

I am looking at villiers school in limerick does anyone know anything about it?

A friend's child goes here and they are very happy with it. Previously were at a very large community college and much happier at Bandon. You can be a day pupil or board.

+1 to Bandon Grammar. Graham Norton’s alma mater

A few of my neighbours went to Villiers and were very happy. One actually works in the equestrian field now. My disclaimer is they are now about 30 years old so I don't know anyone that has been in recent times but the boys loved it.
