RCC Book Scheme 2026/27

The Government has updated the Post-Primary Schoolbooks Scheme from the beginning of the 2026/27 school year.

Under this scheme, schoolbooks and core classroom resources for students in Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Senior Cycle will be provided directly by Roscommon Community College.

There is no charge to parents/guardians for schoolbooks under this scheme, as schools receive funding from the Government to cover these costs.

Important Information for Parents/Guardians

• Schoolbooks will be provided free of charge to every student on loan at the start of the school year.
• Core classroom resources will also be provided free of charge by the school.
• Parents/guardians should note that the stationery pack provided may not fully cover the total stationery and equipment requirements for all subjects.
• Schoolbooks remain the property of the school and are provided to students on loan.
• Books must be returned at the end of the school year, at the end of the relevant cycle, or if a student leaves the school.
• It is important that schoolbooks are kept in good condition so they can be reused by other students in future years.
