Tusla/EWS (and formerly NEWB) commissions an annual report on school attendance by the Educational Research Centre, Drumcondra, that provides national and county level data, but not school level data. Therefore it is not possible to provide information on individual schools.

Schools complete an Annual Attendance Report after the end of each school year. These reports are sent by the Agency to ERC for data processing and compilation of the annual attendance report.

A list of all primary schools and their enrolment can be found on the Department of Education and Skills website at
