Form 1

Life Changing Move to Form 1
We are delighted you are considering choosing Methodist College for the education of your child. We offer an unparalleled school experience that is underpinned by opportunity, diversity and excellence.
Methodist College uses the result of the SEAG entrance assessment to select pupils for Form 1 / Year 8. Information on this and the College’s Entrance Criteria can be found on the Admissions’ section of the College website.
Open Nights are held each year to help inform parents/guardians about what makes Methody a unique and rewarding experience for every child who walks our historic corridors.
Making the transition to post primary school can be both exciting and a bit daunting and this is your opportunity to experience all that Methody has to offer.
The Form 1 induction programme begins in June and continues in the Autumn term with a range of activities and events to inform pupils about what it means to be a Collegian and how they should wear their Crest with pride.
