SEAG Entrance Assessment

St Louis Grammar operates a grammar/higher ability entry process which enables pupils to access an academic education offering the intellectual rigor required to stretch and challenge higher ability pupils whilst offering the benefits of a learning environment that values the gifts, talents and aspirations of all pupils. Pupils are admitted in the same way that they would be to most Grammar Schools in Northern Ireland, i.e. the first criterion for admission is academic ability based on the SEAG Entrance Assessment Test. The details are explained in the School’s Admission Policy and Criteria which is published in January each year by the EA.

 

A total of 52 students out of 130 are selected on the basis of academic ability or 40% of our annual (Stage 2) intake. Parents who wish their child to be considered for the higher band classes and apply via Stage 1 do not need to apply separately on the online transfer form as all applicants will be placed in the appropriate learning paced class, (78 places).
