APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO PRE-SCHOOL / PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN SEPTEMBER 2019
Applications for applying to Pre-School and Primary School for September 2019 will now take place on-line.
The update from Education Authority is as follows:
DIGITAL ADMISSIONS UPDATE
I refer to the Education Authority’s (EA’s) plan to introduce online applications for admissions. As advised, the EA will be using a facility within the existing Capita One system to accept and process applications for pre-school and primary school places for September 2019 intake.
Parent Portal
A new portal for parents to apply online for a place, including the listing of preferences.
Parents will have the opportunity to amend their submitted application until the closing date. This replaces the current paper based application form.
Evidence to support applications
For admission to the forthcoming academic year, parents will continue to provide their child’s birth certificate and any other verifying documents stipulated in admission criteria directly to the first preference provider/school.
This is very important, as an application is not accepted as complete until the supporting evidence has been provided to the school.
Go Live
The Go Live date for the new digital admissions is Wednesday 2 January 2019 at 10.00am. The closing time and date for punctual applications will be 12.00 midnight on Thursday 31 January 2019.
The EA is planning to provide Assisted Digital Support for parents and users of the new system. This will be in the form of a new telephone service, enhanced website content and a number of face-to-face drop-in clinics held in EA offices and other locations during January 2019. Details of the planned digital assistance will be provided in due course.
