- When Limavady Grammar School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. A child with a sibling*1 currently enrolled at the School at date of application (state name(s) and registration group(s) on the Transfer Application);; 2. A child who is the eldest child*2 in the family (details to be supplied on the Transfer Application). Proof of eldest child should be uploaded with the Transfer Application – a letter on headed note paper, stating that the child is the eldest child and that the family is known to the verifier, from one of the following who is not a family member of the Applicant: a Primary School Principal, a medical practitioner, a solicitor, an elected public representative, a member of the clergy or a police officer;; 3. Oldest pupils first (established by date of birth as entered on the Register of Births or the Adopted Children’s Register). In the event that two or more of the children who have applied have the same dates of birth (as entered on either of the said Registers) a random selection will be applied based on a computer programme. The said process is carried out by means of a computer programme which, for each applicant, generates a ranking number using the details from the Transfer Application as the seed for a random number generator. The random number generated for any given applicant is dependent only on the applicant’s name (as entered on the Transfer Application), and is not affected by the details of any other applicant. Applicants with the lowest ranking numbers will be given places up to the number of places available. If there are still places available after all the children who have been entered for the SEAG Entrance Assessment and been awarded a Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) by SEAG or a TSAS assigned by the Admissions Committee in accordance with the arrangements for Special Circumstances and Special Provision have been considered, the above Criteria (labelled a-c) shall be applied, in the order set down, to children who have not been entered for the Entrance Assessment administered by SEAG. *1 Sibling – defined as ‘child of the family’.
