Admission criteria for grammar schools in Northern Ireland for entrance in September 2025 may have changed.
Almost all grammar schools will be using the results in the SEAG Transfer Tests as one of many criteria used as part of the admissions policy for entry into year 8 (first form).
Grammar School admission criteria can vary greatly from school to school and you should make yourself aware of all the criteria details as they will determine which children will be admitted to that school in September 2025.
Make sure that you provide the school with all the information that they require as the school will use the information that you provide when making their decision about which children are admitted in September 2025.
Campbell College
Campbell College a brief history.
The school was founded in 1894 following a gift of money from Henry James Campbell who made his fortune in the linen trade. It is a day and boarding school educating boys from ages four to 18. Initially the school was a boarding school but since the 1970s it has more day pupils than boarders. The school has a fee-paying primary section known as Campbell Junior School (formerly called Cabin Hill). The school is situated in a 100-acre estate in east Belfast, close to the Parliament Buildings at Stormont. The school attracts boarders from all over the world. The school admits pupils using the Transfer Test results as one of their criteria.
Campbell College uses the new SEAG Single Entrance Transfer Test results as part of its intake criteria into year 8.
