What We Do
SEAG provides an Entrance Assessment, held in November each year, for pupils who are in their final year of primary school. All 63 post-primary schools in N. Ireland which include academic selection within their Year 8 admissions criteria accept the SEAG Entrance Assessment Outcomes.
Working in partnership
We work closely with everyone involved in the Entrance Assessment process - pupils sitting the Assessment in our 63 Centres (our member schools) - parents and guardians registering their children. We liaise with primary schools and we also liaise with GL Assessment who set and mark the Entrance Assessment.
Our partnership with parents / guardians
Those who have created a Parent Registration can contact us at any time, via the Support function which links to their account. In the same way, we can contact you.
Each Pupil Application is carefully reviewed by our experienced Admin team to verify that the Application is complete and accurate.
If an issue arises (e.g. missing, unclear or incomplete information) we contact you, to explain what is needed and to guide you through the next steps, helping to resolve issues as quickly as possible. If parents/guardians have any issues or queries, at any point, they simply contact SEAG.
A Pupil-Centred Approach
Around 13,000 pupils sit the Entrance Assessment in our Assessment Centres each year. Centres are very mindful of their responsibility to provide high standards of support for each pupil in their care. SEAG provides annual training for key staff for each Assessment Centre.
