To assist Primary 7 parents in applying for a post Primary school,

Applications for your child's secondary school are made via the EA portal using the following link https://www.eani.org.uk/

There you apply using the EA connect service.  Online applications will close at 4pm on Thursday 23 February 2023. 

The information leaflet ‘Applying for a Year 8 Post Primary Place’ EA website contain information to assist you in making an online application.

Places are NOT allocated on a first come, first served basis.  Post Primary Schools WILL NOT consider applications until after the closing date.

It is important that you:

  • Find schools in your area.  You can find local schools using https://www.eani.org.uk/search-schools
  • Read the Admissions Criteria.  These will be included when you search for the school online.
  • Check what supporting documentation is required to be uploaded with your application.  A photograph can be taken and uploaded via the EA Connect website.
  • Parents are advised to list at least four preferences on your application.
  • Check whether transport assistance will be available for your child.

We have included a short information video from EA for guidance.  Should you find difficulty with using this system there is an admissions FAQs page at https://www.eani.org.uk/parents/admissions/admissions-faqs
