Mount Lourdes Grammar School: SEAG score and admissions criteria

Enniskillen · Catholic girls' grammar · September 2026 entry

This page shows exactly how Mount Lourdes Grammar School 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.

Allocation pattern

Band priority

SEAG scores are grouped into bands. Every child in Band 1 is considered before any child in Band 2, and so on. Within an oversubscribed band, published tie-break criteria — not the score — decide who gets a place.

How places were allocated for September 2026

  1. 96 places. Girls are admitted by SEAG Band: all Band 1 applicants before any Band 2, and so on through Band 6, until places are filled.
  2. Within an oversubscribed Band the order is: a girl of the family currently enrolled or selected for the school → the first girl in the family to transfer to secondary education (the eldest or only girl).
  3. Any remaining tie is settled by random selection based on surname initial.
  4. A voluntary contribution (currently £75 per student / £150 per family per year) is payable by all.
Band comes first — the exact score within a Band is not used. Within a Band, a sibling link and the ‘first girl to transfer’ criterion decide before a random surname draw. Check the definitions before assuming one applies.
