Oh, I meant to say they are 2 and 3 years old , sorry. My eldest is going into 3yo k next year at Fahan. We wouldn't be moving before 2014 at the earliest. Fintona sounds wonderful from what you're saying. I must say out of all the prospectus' theirs did impress me the most. Thanks so much for your 1st hand info. I may get in touch with them early next year. DH will at least want to take a tour at some point when he is over there too.

Ooops. Well, it sounds like you're giving yourself enough time to investigate then, and the school would be able to tell you more. This post has been edited by Quill: 21/12/2012, 03:15 PM

My snarking is a medical condition.
My daughter school has been fortunate enough to employ an senior leader who has recently left Fintona. The way she talks about that school is inspirational. Equal emphasis on pastoral care, academic achievements and community service.
