Slemish College: SEAG score and admissions criteria

Ballymena · co-educational integrated college · September 2026 entry

This page shows exactly how Slemish 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.

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.

How places were allocated for September 2026

  1. A SEAG member school and assessment centre — children can sit the test here.
  2. Publishes Year 8 admissions criteria and SEAG information for parents, including Special Circumstances and Special Provisions guidance.
  3. The school publishes information for parents on familiarisation and assessment-day arrangements.
We link rather than summarise Slemish’s selection details until the current year’s document has been verified in full.
