Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

I am writing to inform you of the recent publications made by the bodies who organise the GL assessments (PPTC) and AQE assessments (CEA).  Both entry assessments will be reduced in content in comparison to previous years. 

For your reference:

  • St. Columb's College & Thornhill College have both confirmed that they will not be using an entry assessment as part of their entry criteria.
  • Lumen Christi College plan to use the GL assessment as part of their entry criteria.
  • Foyle College & Limavady Grammar plan to use the AQE assessment as part of their entry criteria.

If you wish to register your child for any of these entry assessments, please follow all communication from these assessment providers linked below.  Planned dates for these assessments can also be found here:

Details on new reduced assessment content is also attached below.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Mrs S. McCafferty
