How it chooses when it has more applicants than places, in order:

1. 1Children resident in Northern Ireland at the time of proposed admission are considered before non-residents.
2. 2Places allocated by SEAG TSAS in strict rank order, highest first, up to the admissions number of 110 (Special Circumstances and Special Provisions scores included).
3. 3Tie-break 2.3(i): for the last place(s), a child with a sibling currently enrolled or accepted for admission.
4. 4Tie-break 2.3(ii): computer-based ranking using the applicant's name as shown on the Transfer Application.
5. 5Tie-break 2.3(iii): where the computer-based ranking does not separate applicants, the older applicant (by birth certificate date of birth) is given the place.
6. 6Children without a SEAG Entrance Assessment are considered only for any places left after SEAG-scored applicants, using the 2.3 tie-break order.
