If your child is due to transfer from Primary to Post-Primary in September 2023, you will need to apply for their place online.
The application process is open between 1st February and 23rd February 2023 via the EA’s website. It is important that your application is submitted by the closing date but applications are not considered on a first-come-first served basis.
Before you start your application, please look on the EA website to find post-primary schools in your area.
Read the admissions criteria and check if your child would be eligible for transport
Remember, schools must apply their admissions criteria to select pupils if they receive more applicants than they have places available.
So think about how well your child meets the criteria and make sure to clearly state all relevant
information in your application, such as if your child attends a feeder primary school or has a sibling attending the post-primary school.
Schools can only consider the information you provide.
To ensure the best chance of getting your child into a school of your choice, it is important that you
list sufficient schools. It is recommended that at least four schools are listed in your order of preference, including at least one non-Grammar school.
When making your online application, you will be able to upload any documents that are required in the admissions criteria of your preferred schools, such as proof of address, and please ensure you upload a copy of your child’s birth certificate as this is required for all schools.
