New Beginnings

Dear parents/guardians,

Today marks the end of our Christmas Performances for 2025!


The children have been amazing, the staff have been amazing and you, our families, have been amazing.

The 'Community/Christmas Spirit' is at an all time high in Bessbrook!

On behalf of the staff of St. Joseph's P.S. Bessbrook, I would like to wish you all a very 'Happy and Peaceful Christmas!' 

Yours,                                                               

Mr. Michael Doran

The EA Admissions Portal for Nursery places and P1 places opens today at 12 noon. Please remember: ⭐️ I f your child currently attends our Nursery, you still must apply for a P1 place for September. ⭐️ if your child is in our nursery already and is 'underage' and you intend for them to remain in Nursery next year, you still must re-apply for a Nursery place for September. Please ensure when selecting a school, you select the correct school as there are a number of St Joseph's PS in the area. If you select the wrong school, this cannot be changed after the portal closes. We are listed as St Joseph's PS (Bessbrook)
