Transfer Talk! Share your experiences of school transfer without tests

Would you like to share your experiences of school transfer without tests in 2021?

Stranmillis University College and the Centre for Research in Educational Underachievement (CREU) would like to hear about the experiences of school pupils and parents of school pupils who were in P7  when transfer tests were cancelled due to Covid-19.

This research project is entitled Transfer Talk: Exploring the lived experiences of NI school transfer without tests in 2021, and has been funded by the Office of the Mental Health Champion for Northern Ireland, a follow up to our recent Nuffield-funded project entitled “Testing Times”.

To gather your views, we have created two online surveys.

If you are the parent of a pupil who was P7 in 2020/2021, please click here.
