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
No Year 12 or Year 14 results have been published for this school yet.
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.
Apply through the Education Authority's online admissions system in January.
Who goes here
Who the school teaches, from the latest school census.

In 2024/25 pupils were in school 92.3% of the time. Across similar schools in Northern Ireland it was 87.9%. Northern Ireland doesn't publish figures on pupils who miss a lot of school, or on suspensions, for individual schools.
