Inspection

Schools in Northern Ireland are inspected by the Education and Training Inspectorate. Since 2024 its reports end with a written summary and next steps instead of a grade, and there is no published list of outcomes.

Results

GCSE results, summer 2025

129 Year 12 pupils. We compare them with non-grammar post-primary schools across Northern Ireland, because grammar schools pick pupils by ability, so setting them against other schools wouldn't be fair.

Getting a place

No entrance test. When more children apply than there are places, the school's own rules decide who gets in. Usually that means brothers and sisters of current pupils first, then children from its feeder primaries, then whoever lives closest.

As an integrated school it aims for a balance of Protestant, Catholic and other children.

Apply through the Education Authority's online admissions system in January.
