Admissions Criteria for Enniskillen Royal Grammar School

Most Northern Ireland Grammar Schools are now using the SEAG Entrance Assessment instead of Transfer Test AQE or PPTC/GL Assessment. As part of their admissions criteria each school uses slightly different criteria versions for admissions. The vast majority of schools will have SEAG Band one as 1st criteria which means you need to score 206+ in the SEAG Entrance Assessment Test. If you don’t get band one then you will not be guaranteed a grammar school place in any school in Northern Ireland.
After criteria one, criteria two can vary depending on Grammar School. The majority of Grammar Schools 2nd criteria will be if a family member currently or in some cases has attended the school, other schools will go straight to SEAG TSAS scores. The main key point to note is that you need to aim for band one which is 206 in SEAG Entrance Assessment for the vast majority of Grammar Schools in Northern Ireland. Another key point is school preference, most schools don’t stipulate they have to be number one preference on the SEAG Application form to be considered for a place at their school. So, if you put down a Grammar School as 1st preference and don’t get the grade to get in, as long as your 2nd choice school doesn’t stipulate their school has to be 1st preference then it’s the same as putting the 2nd school down 1st on the SEAG application form.
Our advice is to read the Grammar School criteria carefully and know what your child needs to achieve to gain entry as a lot of parents get confused over the criteria. We keep an up-to-date database of past Transfer Test and SEAG scores you need to gain entry to all Grammar Schools in Northern Ireland.
Our SEAG products at bottom of the page are proven resources to give you child the best chance of getting a high score in SEAG, our Practice Test Papers with video explanations are a great starting point for the SEAG Exam. Our online and live tutor bootcamps are a great alternative to an expensive tutor and our mock exams are a great way to find out what level your child is currently at compared to other children who have taken our mock exams in the same area. Our mock exams will be pitched at examination level difficulty so you have an exact understanding of the level your child needs to aim for. Below is the criteria for this Grammar School. If you have any questions please contact us:
Children will be admitted to Enniskillen Royal Grammar School in strict rank order of their Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) in the SEAG Entrance Assessment, highest to lowest. If there are more children with a particular score than places remaining, then children with that score will be selected by applying the criteria outlined in the section below “Application of Admissions Criteria” in the order set down in that section.
Please ensure that you attach/upload the results information providing the Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) awarded in the SEAG Entrance Assessment which you downloaded from your dashboard from the SEAG website ( www.seagni.co.uk) to the Transfer Application.
The Board of Governors of Enniskillen Royal Grammar School has determined that, in the event of over- subscription, children will be selected for admission by the application of the following procedure. Children resident in Northern Ireland at the time of their proposed admission will be considered before any child not so resident.
Children who have taken the SEAG Entrance Assessment and have been awarded a Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) by SEAG, subject only to the consideration of those children claiming ‘Special Provisions’ and ‘Special Circumstances’ as defined below, will be considered before any child who has not taken the SEAG Entrance Assessment. Parents/Guardians are advised to attach/upload the original notification from SEAG of the Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) awarded in the SEAG Entrance Assessment to the Transfer Application.
1) Children will be admitted in strict rank order of their Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS), highest to lowest
2) If there are more children with a particular score than places remaining, then children with that score will be selected by applying the following criteria in the order set down below:
i) Children who at the date of their application have a child of the family¹ currently enrolled at Enniskillen Royal Grammar School.
ii) Children who at the date of their application are the eldest /only child² of the family to be eligible to apply for admission to the School.

In the event of two or more children with the same first forename as it appears on the birth certificate, the date of birth as entered on the birth certificate will be used to establish the eldest child. In the event of two or more children with the same date of birth the final selection will be made by computerised random selection.

3) If there are still places available after consideration of all the children who have taken the SEAG Entrance Assessment and have been awarded a Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) or awarded a score because of Special Provisions and Special Circumstances the School will consider children who have not taken the SEAG Entrance Assessment. Such children will be allocated the remaining places up to the School’s Admissions Number using the criteria listed in paragraph 2 above in the order set down.

When considering which children should be selected for admission, the Board of Governors will only consider information which is detailed on or attached/uploaded to the Transfer Application.
