School software for Irish curriculum (Junior Cycle, Leaving Certificate, NCCA, SEC) schools
Choose Irish curriculum when you create your school, and Onflows sets up Junior Infants to 6th Year, 3 terms, the Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate years and the board's grading before you type anything.
Department of Education and Youth (NCCA curriculum, SEC examinations)
We have not yet checked this setup against the board's own published scheme. It is a sensible default: check the grading and subjects in your first week and change what does not match.

Grading, the way Irish curriculum grades
The academic year runs September to June. Each stage gets its own scale, and marks entered once become the gradebook, the progress card and the parent's screen.
| Stage | Scale | Grades | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Primary STenA default to check | 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 | |
| Junior Cycle | Junior Cycle descriptors | DIST, HM, MERIT, ACH, PA, NG | |
| Senior Cycle | Leaving Cert Higher | H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8 |
The year's assessments, already planned
These arrive with their weights, so the term result adds up without a spreadsheet beside it. This plan is a common pattern rather than the board's prescribed one; change it to match yours.
| Term | Assessment | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Term 1 | Class Tests | 16.7% |
| Term 1 | Christmas Examinations | 16.66% |
| Term 2 | Class Tests | 16.66% |
| Term 2 | Mock Examinations | 16.66% |
| Term 3 | Classroom-Based Assessment | 16.66% |
| Term 3 | Summer Examinations | 16.66% |
