The Public Health Agency is aware of the outbreak of meningitis but has said there is no increased risk to the population in Northern Ireland. However it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms.

20/03/2026

📢 Next Monday, 23 March, the outcome of Pre-School (Stage 1) and Primary 1 applications for September 2026 admissions will be issued to parents and carers.

Applicants who applied via EA Connect will receive an email. If you do not receive an email, please check your junk folder. If you did not apply via EA Connect a letter will be sent to your home address.

For children yet to secure a Pre-school or P1 place, you will receive an email or letter from the Education Authority.

📢 Please note, pre-school applicants of underage children and late deferrals will receive their outcome on 19 May 2026.

Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs awaiting placement will be updated by their SEN link officer or school/setting when a placement has been secured. This process may take a little longer in order to find the best placement for your child’s needs.
