Trying to find tables for AQE admission scores for 2015/16 but they dont seem to be published yet

In the past, the only way to find out all the cut off scores for all schools was through the very helpful publication prepared by Belfast Telegraph. No one else ever published this info (except where it was copied from the Belfast Telegraph).

Given that this is a little late this year, I wonder is Belfast Telegraph going to do it at all?

Rather than wait, I suggest that everyone simply posts on here any cut offs they have become aware of and that will help others, as people have done in previous threads / years.

12 days to go and I'm starting to feel a bit sick! The only schools I've heard last year's lowest scores are: Carrick Grammar 88, Larne Grammar 89 and Ballyclare High 94. This is only hearsay may I add.

Bangor Grammar School 98
Grosvenor Grammar School 77
Strathearn 104 (on their website)

Grosvenor had been 104 the year before. Application numbers were down, this was not just a special circumstance. Heads very much saying put the schools down in order of preference ignoring previous scores as you just can't second guess what that cut off score will be.

Coleraine Grammar 92 was the lowest

Have visited 3 schools so far two grammer and one secondary and can honestly say the secondary was by far my stand out favourite but in saying that my son still wants the grammer at least it will make next Saturday easier to take if he dosent get what he is hoping for

sounds like is - the local secondary schools here have made a much better impression in my opinion.

I agree. I think the secondary schools are working very hard these days to get the best out of pupils. It certainly won't be the end of the world if we don't get the right score on the day.

Hi there,
This is my first post for a while. I contacted the Belfast Telegraph via twitter about when they would publish the scores from last year and was told that they would most likely be in the paper this week. They were waiting for 4 schools to get back to them.
