Criteria for Post Primary Schools

11th Jan 2024

Please see below the criteria for some of the Post Primary Schools located not far from our school. Parents should familiarise themselves with the criteria for EACH school they are planning on applying to. We recommend a minimum of 5 schools should be chosen. Please make a note of the criteria that fits your child for each of the schools you will be selecting on your post primary application. Parents will be invited (by appointment) to come to school in early February to complete the online application portal and select your chosen schools.  We will have staff available to help you complete the form. We will also be able to provide you with additional documentation that may be required by the schools you are selecting. The portal will open at the end of January. Parents will need to create an account on the portal (if you have do not already have an EA portal account). We will send information to you about creating an account on the portal at the end of the month. Please note there are many schools available. We have selected the schools which are closest to us but we would encourage you to look further afield if required.
