11 Plus Tuition for Larne Grammar School

Larne Grammar School was founded in 1886 by Sir Edward Coey and John Crawford. It is a co-educational, voluntary grammar school in Larne, County Antrim, with around 760 pupils and a strong academic and sporting tradition.

Admission to Year 8 is based on the SEAG Entrance Assessment, with the school then applying its own published admissions criteria to the results. Parents apply through the Education Authority post-primary transfer process, naming Larne Grammar School.

Larne Grammar School uses the SEAG Entrance Assessment, the single transfer test used across Northern Ireland. It consists of two papers covering English and Maths, sat on Saturday, 14th November 2026 (Paper 1) and Saturday, 21st November 2026 (Paper 2).

Larne Grammar School does not use a rigid distance-only catchment, but its admissions criteria consider siblings, family connection and proximity alongside SEAG performance. As the main grammar school in the area, it draws from Larne and the wider East Antrim area.

For 2027 entry, SEAG registration opens at 8am on Monday, 18th May 2026 and closes at 11:59pm on Friday, 18th September 2026. The two papers are sat on Saturday, 14th November 2026 and Saturday, 21st November 2026, with results on Saturday, 23rd January 2027.
