Old cut-off figures can give you some context, but they are not a guarantee of what will happen when you apply.
For official placement information, use the CSSPS portal.
School placement is managed through CSSPS.
Facilities
Published school information lists an ICT lab, science lab, library and dining hall at Savelugu Senior High.
Those spaces matter differently depending on your programme. Science and Agricultural Science need practical facilities, while boarding students also depend on the residential side of the campus every day.
Facilities can change over time, so check what is currently available if a particular lab or practical space matters to you.
Student Life
Savelugu Senior High brings together day and boarding students from Savelugu and surrounding communities.
School life extends beyond lessons through sport, student leadership and the routines that come with a large mixed school.
The school's location in an important agricultural area also gives Agricultural Science a local relevance that students can easily see outside the classroom.
Accommodation
Savelugu Senior High has both day and boarding students.
Boarders stay on campus for meals, evening study and residential routines, while day students go home after school.
If you get a place, your placement will show whether you are coming in as a boarder or a day student.
