Dalriada School is one of over 30 grammar schools who have now decided to offer a common entrance assessment for those pupils who wish to take it to measure their suitability for an academic education.
Dalriada is one of the leading academic grammar schools in the province with pupils each year producing outstanding results in external examinations. The school consistently attracts pupils from the upper range of academic ability; from a wide geographical area and from the full range of social, religious and cultural backgrounds.
Dalriada is oversubscribed and to allocate places the Board of Governors includes an academic criterion in the admissions criteria. To maintain its excellent academic status and in the absence of any credible alternative, Dalriada has decided to use a common entrance assessment, devised by the Association for Quality Education, www.aqe.org.uk as part of their criteria for entry. This assessment is designed to “match” the skills and abilities of individual pupils to the schools best suited to respond to their potential talents and interests.
Mr. Tom Skelton , Headmaster of Dalriada, has met with the principals of feeder primary schools to explain in detail the main features of the tests. An information evening for parents also took place in June and attracted over 400 parents.
