EA Guidelines on Primary Applications

10th Jan 2026
If your child is currently undergoing statutory assessment and does not yet have a Statement of Special Educational Needs, you will still need to apply for a Pre-School or Primary 1 school place.

If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Needs, placement will be discussed with you as part of the annual review of your child’s statement. The Statutory Assessment & Review Service (SARS) will arrange the placement, therefore an application should not be made via Admissions on EA Connect.

If you require more information on any of the above, please contact the EA’s Statutory Assessment & Review Service directly on 028 9031 7777, Option 1.
