| The
grades allocated to pupils in the current school year and
the previous 2 school years are:
2001/2002 School Year
2000/2001 School Year
1999/2000 School Year
.
The next step in the procedure is the completion of the Transfer
Report Form. At the discussion with the Principal of the Primary
School parents will be asked to state their preferences, drawing
on information already provided by the Department of Education
and Education and Library Boards and the information found
within the prospectuses of secondary schools. Many parents
have already attended Open Days.
Desmond McMurray, Head of Pupil & Parent Unit at the SELB
commented "As in previous years parents should be careful
to provide all information on the Transfer Report form which
is relevant to their preferred schools. The admissions criteria
of the schools concerned should be carefully studied to ensure
that no information such as 'eldest child in family' or 'father/mother
attended the school' is forgotten about. Where it is appropriate,
information should be given about special circumstances and
documentary evidence attached to the Transfer Report Form."
Parents should also ensure that their stated preferences are
the most appropriate for the child's interests as it may not
be possible to gain
admission to another preferred school if the wrong choices
are indicated on the Transfer Report Form.
Further information about the Transfer Procedure itself including
the completion of the Transfer Report form can be obtained
