Year 1 Intake
N.B: Applicants should note that they may be required to produce verifying documents. The Board of Governors reserves the right to require such supplementary evidence as it may determine to support or verify information on any application. If the requested evidence is not provided to the Board of Governors by the deadline given, this will result in the withdrawal of an offer of a place. Similarly, if information is supplied which appears to be false or misleading in any material way, the offer of a place will be withdrawn. In the event that there are more applicants than places available, the Board of Governors has determined that the following criteria shall be applied by an Admissions Committee of the Board of Governors and Principal in the order set down:
Priority will be given to children who will have attained compulsory school age at the time of their proposed admission, over those who will not have attained compulsory school age at the time of their proposed admission.
In selecting children for admission, children resident in Northern Ireland at the time of their proposed admission will be selected for admission to the school before any child not so resident.
(i) Preference will be given to the eldest first as shown on the birth certificate.
Then;
(ii) Preference will be given on the basis of initial letter of surname as entered on birth certificate
in order set out below:
R T G B Q I J V F Z C D K N P S X U A L O Y W E M H
This order was determined by a randomised selection of letters of the alphabet. In the event of the surnames beginning with the same initial letter the subsequent letters of the surname will be used following the same randomly selected alphabet. In the event of two identical surnames the first initial of the first forename as written on the birth certificate will be used following the same randomly selected alphabet. In the event of the first initial of the first forename being the same initial, the subsequent letters of the same forename will be used in alphabetical order as randomly selected above.
Then;
(iii) Computerised random selection.
