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

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