Applications for places in Primary One for September 2025 should be completed online through the Education Authority’s admissions portal at www.eani.org.uk/parents/admissions.
During the admissions procedure when applying the criteria punctual applications will be considered before late applications are considered. The application procedure opens on Friday 10 January 2025 at 12noon (GMT) and an application submitted by the closing date of 24 January 2025 at 12noon (GMT) will be treated as a punctual application. An application received after 12noon (GMT) on 24 January 2025 will be treated as a late application.
Once you have made your online application, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Within 3 days you will receive another e-mail with a unique link where you can securely upload your child’s birth certificate and other supporting documents such as proof of address. These are essential to process your application.
