Portal Opening
The online EA Post-Primary Application portal will open at 12 noon on 1 February 2022 and close at 4pm on 23 February 2022 for Year 8 post-primary applications, as set out in the DE Timetables Circular 2021/23.
When the application window opens parents will be able to click on the ‘Apply Now’ button to access the portal on the EA website www.eani.org.uk/admissions. I would be grateful if you can communicate these details to parents of your P7 pupils and remind them that applications are not considered on a first come, first served basis.
Parents who are awaiting results of entrance tests for their child, from test providers on Saturday 5th February 2022, may complete the registration process and partially complete an application, if desired, coming back to complete the remaining details after results are received. Alternatively they may wish to wait until results are received before starting their application. Again I would ask you to highlight that the application window is open until 4pm on 23rd February and applications will not be considered by post-primary schools until after the closing date.
The Admissions Helpdesk will operate from 8am to 6pm Monday to Thursday and from 8am to 5pm on Friday until the application window closes on 23 February via telephone: 028 9598 5595 and Email: postprimaryadmissions@eani.org.uk
