Please see the attached information leaflet, ‘Applying for a Post-Primary School Place’ for parents of P7 pupils.
The post-primary application will be accessible at www.eani.org.uk/admissions and the application process is available between 12 noon on Monday 1 March and 4pm on Tuesday 16 March 2021.
• It is the responsibility of parents to check that all relevant information is included on their child’s application before submitting the form.
• Digital assistance is available via the Admissions Helpdesk 028 9598 5595 in addition to the user guides on the EA website and the guidance leaflet ‘Applying for a Post-Primary School Place’.
• Using the Recite Me tool on the EA website, parents can translate information and access audio transcripts of admissions criteria and guidance materials in a range of languages. Parents may watch the subtitled video in six different languages and access translated versions of the P7 leaflet.
• Parents can check if their child would be eligible for transport assistance to a particular school on the EA website.
• Parents have the right to express school preferences but no child can be guaranteed a place at any particular school. More than half of post-primary schools are oversubscribed and not all children who apply will receive a place at an oversubscribed school.To ensure the best chance of getting your child into a post-primary school of your choice, it is strongly recommended that at least four schools are listed in the order of preference and include at least one non-grammar school.
