“Whether or not a child has taken the transfer tests, arrangements still have to be made for their transfer to post-primary education. The next step in the process is the completion of the Transfer 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 post primary schools. Many parents have already attended Open Days/Nights.
“As in previous years, parents should be careful to provide all information on the Transfer 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 omitted. Where it is appropriate, information should be given about special circumstances and documentary evidence attached to the Transfer Form.
“Parents are asked to list at least three schools which they would like their child to be considered for. 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 should they wish to change their choices from those originally indicated on the Transfer Form.
“On Friday, May 26, 2006 , the SELB will issue a letter notifying each parent of the school which has admitted their child.
“Information about the Transfer Procedure itself including the completion of the Transfer Form is available from the Principal of the child’s primary school or from the Board’s Pupil and Parent Unit (028) 3751 2406.”
