Primary 7 Transfer to Secondary School
EA Connect will open on 27th January 2026 at 12 noon and close on 19th February 2026 at 12 noon for Year 8 applications.
Parents of Primary 7 children should use this portal to select their school(s) for September 2026. Some parents will have already completed this as part of their Annual Review process with Mr Torney and they will not need to use this system. If you are unsure whether or not you did this, please call the office and Mrs Arthur will let you know.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that when applying to a school it is important to address the criteria for the school/schools you are applying to. For this reason, it is important to read the criteria carefully. You do not need to provide additional information about your child such as their hobbies, likes/dislikes etc. at this time.
Admissions Criteria can be found here:

Once you have read the admissions criteria window is open, you can find the application link at the site below.

Once all applications have been processed, you will be informed of your child’s secondary school on 9th May 2026.
