Dalriada School would like to announce that we have an exciting re-designed website under construction. We will over the course of the summer months be migrating from this website to our new one. We will be continuing to use this site along with posting links to our new site as sections are gradually finalised. If you wish to contact school via this site please use the contact form in the Contact Us section.
For any parent looking to apply for a Year 8 place at Dalriada School for September 2021 please find below links to both our Admissions Criteria and the important Academic Data Admissions Form required to accompany your on-line application to the EA Transfer process.
Admission Criteria for Year 8 Entry 2021-22
Please find a link below to our school prospectus which would normally have been distributed to all P6+7 pupils attending our Open Morning.
With not being able to run our usual tour for Open Day we have produced a video showcasing some of the activities that a pupil can experience and all of the subject areas they will cover during their time at Dalriada. You can either watch all of the 90 minute Youtube video or you can open up the information section opposite the title (small arrow head) and select any of the individual listed sections to view. The footage is a mixture of events from previous academic years and also the current. It also shows a mixture of activities that would be pre COVID and others under current COVID restrictions.
At the beginning of the Headmaster’s address there is an important slide that reflects the most recent updated Admissions Criteria for Dalriada, published this week.
Please find attached a copy of the letter, sent to all parents of children due to sit the AQE Tests in Dalriada this academic year, in the link below.

With not being able to hold events in the JAH, we have put together a presentation for Year 11 Parents. The presentation sets out the principles and strategies relating to GCSE study, how assessment is structured over Year 11 and 12 and also information relating to entry criteria to our sixth form. The presentation is approximately 35 minutes in length and if there any questions relating to it, you can either contact me at school by phone or send me an e mail to jdevlin268@c2ken.net. To access the presentation please use the link below.

Year 11 Induction Information Presentation.
Due to current restrictions and the limited capacity of our hall at this time, unfortunately, we have been unable to run our usual Information sessions for the parents of Sixth form pupils. These induction sessions would have highlighted a number of key areas in relation to life in the sixth form, our expectations, assessment, examinations, work experience, and preparation for UCAS application. There are separate presentations with commentary for Year 13 and Year 14.
You can access them by opening the respective links below.
This is our Positive Behaviour Policy that was ratified by the Board of Governors on 27/8/2020.

It contains the details around how to go about applying and how the AQE exam process next academic year will work. Please find below a link to the presentation.
