Secondary Transfer

Welcome

Please find and read the information provided on this page from the Education Authority.

We are sure that you may have many questions about the transfer to secondary education.

When the pupils return to school we will be talking to you about entry into the AQE/GL transfer tests if they are still going ahead for next year.

Below you will find the admissions criteria that have been published by secondary schools in the Belfast area.

If you have nay questions please contact me at school.

Thank you

John Armstrong

Admission Criteria

An e-mail issued on 16 December 2020 in relation to an advice leaflet on the transfer process aimed at parents of children in Year 6. That e-mail indicated that the leaflet would be issued to schools in hard copy during January. The purpose of this communication is to advise that the delivery of the leaflets will now be delayed until schools reopen for teaching.

In the interim, the leaflet remains available to download from the Department’s website or can be accessed via the link below.
