Admissions information
The Loreto Grammar School, Omagh, entrance test is the SEAG Entrance Assessment. Here is everything you need to know about Loreto Grammar School, Omagh, admissions, and the exam structure.
Loreto Grammar School, Omagh, is one of the SEAG group of grammar schools in Northern Ireland that use academic selection for entry to Year 8. The school admits pupils through two routes, Route 1 (academic selection) and Route 2 (non-academic selection), and applicants may apply for both. For Route 1, the school uses the Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) from the SEAG Entrance Assessment, which is written by GL Assessment for the Schools' Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG).
The Loreto Grammar School, Omagh 11 plus exam is the SEAG Entrance Assessment, which consists of two papers, both assessing English (or Gaeilge) and Mathematics. Each paper has an identical format with a Practice Test Section followed by a 60-minute Main Test. For the September 2027 entry, Paper 1 is taken on Saturday 14 November 2026 and Paper 2 on Saturday 21 November 2026, with results issued at the end of January 2027.
For Loreto Grammar School, Omagh 11 plus registration, parents must register themselves and then make a pupil application on the SEAG portal at seagni.co.uk. Registration usually opens in May and closes towards the end of September, with a non-refundable administration fee of £20 (free for pupils eligible for free school meals). Families must also complete the Transfer Application through the Education Authority, with the post-primary application deadline usually in early 2027.
SEAG results, in the form of a Statement of Outcome showing the Total Standardised Age Score, are issued at the end of January 2027. Children resident in Northern Ireland are considered before those who are not, and for Route 1 a higher score is admitted before a lower score; meeting a particular score does not guarantee a place, as the school applies its admissions criteria where demand exceeds places.
Key admissions details
Loreto Grammar School, Omagh, admits a full Year 8 intake each year across its academic and non-academic routes. The school is popular and regularly oversubscribed, so for academic places, the Total Standardised Age Score combined with the Loreto Grammar School, Omagh admissions criteria determines who is offered a place, with the school's faith and philosophy criteria applied as part of the process.
Loreto Grammar School, Omagh, does not operate a strict distance-based catchment area; it serves the Omagh area and the wider County Tyrone region, drawing pupils from across the surrounding towns and villages. Entry is based first on the SEAG score for academic places; where applicants exceed places, the Loreto Grammar School, Omagh catchment area is effectively shaped by its admissions criteria, including residence in Northern Ireland, family links, and feeder schools, rather than by a fixed boundary.
