• Post-Primary Application Notification

  Sun 30 May 2021

  The date for notification for post-primary applications has been brought forward to Saturday 12 June. Parents/guardians who have applied for a place for their child online will be able to login to the EA Post-Primary Application portal from 9am to receive the outcome of their child’s application. 

  The placement of children for whom EA maintains a statement of special educational needs is a separate process to that outlined above. The majority of parents will have received their child’s amended statement naming their placement for September. 

  Where places have not been confirmed by 14 June, SEN Link Officers will communicate with parents to update them on their individual consultation process. Parents can contact their SEN Link Officer or SEN Helpline on 028 9598 5960.
