SEAG - The Schools' Entrance Assessment Group

The Schools’ Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG) is open to all post-primary schools in Northern Ireland which use academic selection for all or part of their Year 8 intake. SEAG includes Controlled and Voluntary Grammar Schools and Integrated Schools in its membership.

What are the Y7 plans for SEAG and NON SEAG pupils?

Beginning next week, the Y7 pupils will split into a test preparation class and a non-test preparation class for 3 one hour sessions per week only.  A rough timetable is outlined below (times may vary).  Pupils will have 2 papers weekly (one in class, one home).

Monday 11am – 12pm                        Miss Millar (test pupils sit SEAG Paper)

Miss Laidlaw (non-test pupils are taught together)

Tuesday 11am-12pm                         Miss Millar (test pupils sit SEAG Paper)

                                                                Miss Laidlaw (non-test pupils are taught together)

Thursday 11am-12pm                        Miss Millar (test pupils sit SEAG Paper)

                                                                Miss Laidlaw (non-test pupils re taught together)

Please note, Miss Laidlaw and Miss Millar will alternate group weeks.

Year 7 test preparing pupils will be working with resources supplied to school (resourced by Mr Armstrong and the Y7 staff) during their teaching sessions. These are like the resources started in Y6.
