If your child is currently undergoing statutory assessment and does not have a formal Statement of Special Educational Needs, you will still need to apply for a Post Primary place.
If your child has a formal Statement of Special Educational Needs, there is a separate placements process where the school placement is discussed with you as part of the review of your child’s statement, therefore, an application should not be made via Admissions on EA Connect.
For information on the progress of SEN assessments or school placements please contact the EA’s SEN Service directly on 028 9598 5960.
