When your child is in Primary Seven you will be required to apply for a place in a post-primary school. This booklet, attached below, provides parents with advice and information to assist when making a decision about which schools to apply to next year.
It sets out the main steps in the post-primary transfer process and it explains:
„ The role of parents: what you can do to help your child transfer to post-primary school.
„ How parents can prepare for this role: what things you need to think about when choosing a school for your child.
„ How parents complete their child’s application to post-primary school.
The post-primary transfer process is competitive and NO CHILD IS GUARANTEED A PLACE AT THE SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE. However, by following the guidance in this document you will maximise your child’s chances of securing a place at a school of your preference.
Pupils with a statement of special educational needs have a separate process for post-primary school placement. If your child holds a statement the Education Authority will discuss, with you, a suitable
post-primary school placement for your child as part of the review of your child’s statement. Therefore, application should not be made via the online Post-Primary Application. You can contact your local EA Special
Education Department for more information or the SEN Helpdesk by phone on 028 9598 5960.
If your child is undergoing statutory assessment, you will still need to apply for a Post-Primary place.
