This page will contain relevant information about second level education in the Derry area, including websites and useful links.
All schools have admissions criteria. If they receive more applications than they have places available, they use these criteria to decide who to offer places to. Places will be allocated to those who best meet the admissions criteria for each school.
Before starting to complete your child’s application you should read carefully the published admissions criteria for each school that you wish to nominate as a preference.
You should complete your application providing all the relevant details/preference reasons about how your child meets the schools’ admissions criteria.
When making an application, it is recommended that you list at least four schools in the order of your preference, including at least one non-grammar, as there is no guarantee your child will be accepted into the first preference.
Any queries on the content of a school’s published admissions criteria should be directed to the school.
Parents have the right to express preferences for the schools they would like their child to attend, but no child can be guaranteed a place in any school or any particular type of school (secondary, integrated, grammar, single sex etc).
You should list at least four schools in order of your preference. You may need to nominate more schools if the schools you have chosen are normally oversubscribed. You should include at least one non grammar school.
The first school you list will consider your application, if they are unable to offer a place the application will then go on to your second preference school and so on until a school is able to offer a place or the list is exhausted.
You can list up to 12 schools on the online application. You cannot list the same school more than once, unless the school you are applying to has a Boarding Department or Irish Medium Unit in which case you may list either or both options.
Carefully select those schools that you wish to nominate as some schools have similar names e.g. St Patrick’s College, Banbridge, St Patrick’s College, Dungannon etc.
Some schools give priority to applicants who have listed their school as first preference, therefore, applicants who list the school at a lower preference may have less chance of obtaining a place at the school.
