What is the Lucan Common Enrolment System (LCES)
Adamstown Castle, Esker, Griffeen and Lucan East Educate Together Schools are involved in the Lucan Common Enrolment System. When a parent/guardian makes an application to one of the schools they are applying to a centralised system. Children are assigned to one of the four schools based on specific criteria. The primary aim of the system is to promote inclusive local schools, to improve traffic management and mobility in Lucan and to encourage strong, integrated local communities.
How do I put my child’s name down for the Lucan Common Enrolment system?
Fill out the pre-enrolment form, available from the schools’ websites.
If you are then allocated a place in a LCES school, you will received an offer by e mail.
In order for you to confirm this school place for your child, you will have to provide the following documents:
- Completed application form
- Child’s birth certificate
- Proof of address: TWO current utility bills dated within two months of the application. e.g. gas, electric, internet household bill
- POD form
- Ethos statement signed by parents / guardians.
Important points to note:
- Application forms for Junior Infants will only be available in each school from 6th October of the year prior to the year of entry.
- Junior Infant children must be at least 4 years old before the first day of school in the current year.
- Applications must be received on/before 24th November in order to be considered for the first offers.
- The first round of offers takes place in 3rd December 2021

Please note that Lucan Educate Together National School in Bewley Way, has a separate enrolment policy and if you wish to apply to that school, you need to make a separate application there.
Due to the close proximity of Lucan East ETNS and Griffeen Valley ETNS one GPS reference point (being the centre point of the round about between the two schools) is used to allocate places randomly between these two schools.
