Student Life

The philosophy of our school is the belief that each pupil should be encouraged to fulfil their potential in a supportive and caring environment. In addition to the broad curriculum, pupils can participate in more than 20 sports and 16 other clubs and activities, some of which are unique in Northern Ireland. We showcase two theatrical performances annually and actively participate in local and national arts, academic competitions, including F1 in Schools.
