The first Single Transfer Test took place in November 2024 under the management of a new company - the
Schools' Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG).
Grammar school boards of governors had been asked to decide whether to take part in the new Transfer Test after they reviewed a document called "Towards a Single Assessment" which had been circulated to all grammar schools.
Members of both the AQE and GL(PPTC) organisations had been working over the last number of years to agree the format of this new single test. It is thought that that 9 principals run the new Schools' Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG).
The Department of Education will not be involved in the construction or management of the tests and a Department of Education spokesperson said: “The Department facilitates the transfer from primary to post primary school for all pupils, whether or not they sit a transfer test. However, any developments that make the transfer process easier for children and their families, should be welcomed.”
The new SEAG test has brought to an end the current system of two separate tests run by the AQE and the PPTC. This system created a situation were children might sit up to 5 different transfer Tests.
The new SEAG tests mean that every pupil can sit one set of tests whose outcomes will be recognised and accepted across all grammar schools in Northern Ireland where boards of governors use such an assessment as part of their admission criteria for pupils moving from year 7( P7) to year 8 (first form.)
