The source
| Dataset | Publisher | Licence | Published |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-2026 School Allocations | National Council for Special Education | CC-BY-4.0 | 2026-08-06 |
Three files make up the dataset — primary schools, post-primary schools and special schools (3070, 721 and 128 schools respectively). They do not share the same column headings; they are normalised here into a single table.
What this site does not say
- It shows the allocation as published. Allocations can be revised during the year.
- It does not explain why a school received a given allocation. That is a matter for the NCSE.
- A school missing here is a school absent from the source file, not a school without an allocation.
- This is not advice on placing a child, and not a ranking of schools.
Why this site exists
The data is public, but it lives in three spreadsheets with different column headings. Nobody publishes a page per school. Searching a school name and getting its roll number and its allocation should take one step; here it does.
