Loreto and Omagh CBS have both dropped the 11 plus for next year.

Rathmore, Knock Aquinas & St.Malachys turned down A's this year and they had their admission number increased.

Wasn't aware of that. I had a boy who was in the top 5% that didn't get his place in Rathmore a couple of years ago. It has always been a very results driven school in my experiences.

Very much so, in fact they've been known to do interviews with pupils and their teachers!

Rathmore supposedly turned away 180 A's last year.

It's just a lottery there though isn't it? When they've filled the first few in the criteria, the As are just a lottery number. Doesn't matter what type of A it is.

Not sure what way it works to be honest. I just know of a few As who didn't get in and I've never had a child with a B get accepted. So it'll be interesting as to what they decide to do with 2021's intake.

I knew a young lad who got the top score in his primary school but was the only one not to get in. Some system.

Was this for Rathmore ?

Thornhill and St Columbs in Derry drop the 11 plus for one year.
St Columbs didn't fill all its places this year but Thornhill would be very over subscribed
