Department of Education – School admission survey

Closes 23 May 2025

Opened 18 Apr 2025

Overview

The Department of Education, the Education Authority and the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools each have important responsibilities for planning school provision across Northern Ireland.

Society is changing and we want to ensure that the preferences of parents and guardians are included in that planning process.

So, we are asking parents who have recently made school admission choices for entry into nursery, primary and post primary education about your school preferences and the factors that you considered during the admission process.
