In the Two-Tier System (sometimes known as the Dickson Plan) the majority of pupils attending Controlled Junior High Schools transfer at the end of Key Stage 3 / Year 10 to Controlled Senior High Schools or other post primary schools to complete their compulsory education in Key Stage 4.
While the majority of pupils transfer from a Controlled Junior High School to a Senior High School parents may apply to a post-primary school other than a Senior High School for a place in Key Stage 4 for their child.
Some schools in the former Craigavon area are not part of the Two-Tier System and retain their pupils beyond the age of 14. Pupils may leave at the age of 16 (end of Year 12) or stay at school until the age of 18 (end of Year 14). The schools are:
| Type | |
|---|---|
| Brownlow Integrated College, Craigavon | Controlled Integrated |
| Lismore Comprehensive, Craigavon | Catholic Maintained |
| St Ronan's College, Lurgan | Voluntary Grammar |
