Notification of Post Primary Placement

Placement Letters

Post-primary school placement letters should be received on Thursday 4 June. In the event that a letter does not arrive on Thursday 4th June please contact Mrs McCafferty at the school between 9.30am and 11:30 am on Friday 5th June or by emailing

This year 88% of pupils across Northern Ireland have been placed at their first preference school. This leaves a significant minority of children who will be placed at a school lower on their list of preferences.

If your child is placed at a lower preference school, you may wish to make contact with the post primary school which has refused your child a place, to determine the criteria against which your child’s application was rejected.

Admissions Helpdesk

Additional support is available from the EA Admissions Helpdesk. The Helpdesk will be in operation from 1pm to 5pm on Thursday 4 June 2020. It can be contacted on 028 9598 5595 or via email on postprimaryadmissions@eani.org.uk. Thereafter it will operate Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm.

Unplaced Pupils Dedicated Helpline

Every year a small number of pupils are not offered a post-primary school place. A dedicated EA Helpline has been put in a place to support any parents of unplaced children and can be contacted on 028 9041 8053.

If your child is in this position, the key advice is for parents is to review the list of schools with places available, published on the EA website, and nominate further preferences as quickly as possible.
