Late application
information
|
Applications received AFTER 12 noon Thursday 19 February but BEFORE 4pm on Tuesday 24 February 2026 will be marked as “Late”. Please read carefully the admissions criteria for your preferred schools as most schools give priority to punctual applications. Having a late application could reduce your child’s likelihood of gaining a place in your preferred school i.e. some schools will have filled all available places with punctual applications.
Applications received AFTER 4pm on Tuesday 24 February 2026 will not be processed until after Open Enrolment closes on Saturday 9 May 2026. At this stage the Education Authority will not process applications to schools that have already filled all available places.
