ποΈπ° Schoolsβ Admission Criteria ποΈπ°
Here is another blog / reference guide which is REALLY important, both now and in particular when you are making your decisions about which school you need to put onto the post-primary transfer form
In short, every school in NI makes their own decisions how they will accept children into their school and the legal details of that are captured on the Admission Criteria document. This is why it is important.
When you first open them they may feel a bit heavy but I can guarantee you that by the end of January youβll probably be an expert, so give it time and it will eventually sink in.
Basically they all follow a similar structure with key sections like:
π₯ Standard info at the top: their name, school type, phone number, social media etc.
π₯ Details of their Open Night - yes, I have opened every single one to capture this info for you into the Open Njght Blog. π
π₯ How the school will organise to offer places and admit pupils next year and what happens if there is a tie-break doe last place. This is the key part that will help you make your decisions after results.
π₯ Details on previous admission numbers for the last three years (at the very bottom)- this is good to see how oversubscribed the school is each year.
I also recommend you read each document before the schoolβs Open Night so you are armed with knowledge and perhaps questions.
