Post-Primary Schools: Cognitive Ability Tests Spring 2021

Mar 18, 2021 | News

March 2021

  • St Patrick’s Classical School  have changed plans to hold Assessment Tests. A letter from Deputy Principal McGarry states- “In light of current public health advice, schools are advised not to conduct New Entrants 2021 Assessment Tests for September 2021 at this time. In our case, this was the Cognitive Ability Test (C.A.T.), due to be held in our school on Saturday 17th April 2021. The wellbeing and safety of students and staff is of the highest priority. Should restrictions ease it may be possible to hold these tests at a later date before the commencement of the 2021/22 school year, possibly in August 2021.”

 

  • Beaufort College have just informed us it is unlikely they will hold in person ability testing in advance of in-coming First Years starting school in September. They will more than likely wait until the children are in school and hold the CAT4 assessments then. We will be working with the Home School Liaison Team from Beaufort College to assist in the transition for all pupils from 6 Class to Post-Primary.
