Allocation pattern
Partial academic pathway
The school fills part of its intake through an academic pathway that uses SEAG scores, and the rest through non-academic criteria. Check how many places sit in each pathway before relying on either.

Lagan College: SEAG score and admissions criteria
This page shows exactly how Lagan College used SEAG results to allocate Year 8 places,
taken from the school’s own published admissions criteria. It is one of the
63 school evidence cards in our SEAG admissions guide.
How places were allocated for September 2026
- The published criteria allocate the Stage I Grammar Stream by TSAS rank order, highest to lowest, up to 35% of the admissions number.
- The remaining intake is all-ability — no SEAG required.
- Northern Ireland’s first planned integrated college.
The 35% figure and rank-order method are from the school’s September 2025 entry criteria; check the current year’s document on the school site.
