If your child was born between 2 July 2020 and 1 July 2021 they are due to start P1 in September 2025 as they will be of Compulsory School Age and you must apply for a place in a Primary School.

Outcome Date: Wednesday 9 April 2025
If you submitted a punctual application on EA Connect you will receive an email notification to the address you registered with. The email will provide you with basic details on the outcome of your child’s application. For more detailed information you can log in to EA Connect on the same date.
Applicants who submitted a paper application will either be advised of the outcome by email (if supplied on form) or by letter.
Late Applications
The closing date for punctual Primary 1 applications is 12 noon on Friday 24 January 2025. An application received after 12 noon on 24 January 2025 and by 4pm on 29 January 2025 will be treated as a late application.
Having a late application could reduce your child’s likelihood of gaining a place in your preferred school i.e. should the school you are applying to receive more applications that it has places available it will firstly consider all punctual applications (including second and subsequent preference applications) before your application is considered.
