Eligibility
Admission is open to all classes subject of course to availability of space as the maximum population per class is limited to 24 pupils.
Application forms are available from the school office and a placement test is normally conducted to ensure that the child is indeed able to cope with the class for which admission is sought. Placement tests are organised at a mutually convenient time.
An entrance examination is conducted in March/May for pupils wishing to enter JSS1 from other schools and Primary 5 pupils from Olumawu Basic Education School.
Our primary six pupils wishing to continue the last leg of their basic education programme are not required to take any examination. Progression to JSS1 is automatic, subject to their performance in their sessional examinations and interview as necessary.
Primary 5 pupils wishing to proceed to JSS1 must be 11 years old by March in the academic year of admission. The following factors are also taken into account:
- The definite need for prospective students to be sufficiently mature to cope with the demands of the JSS Curriculum
- Performance academically throughout Primary 4 and Primary 5 taking into consideration CATs scores and end of term examination results
- Ability in English, both spoken and written
- Parental wishes and choice
- Achievement in the school based Entrance Examination and interview
To sit the examination, an Application Form must be completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian of the candidate. Forms are available from the school office for N7,500.00. Alternatively, the form may be down loaded from this website.
Completed forms should be returned to the Admissions officer in the school office on or before the date set for the examination.
