Abbey Achievers 2019!

The smiling, happy faces of students, staff and parents reflected success across a wide variety of academic and vocational courses.

The Abbey family is hugely proud of all our Year 14 students and their amazing achievement, which is testament to high quality teaching, their hard work and commitment and the support and encouragement of staff and parents. They thoroughly deserve their success and have certainly made our school motto ‘Believe, Achieve, Succeed’ a reality!

We are thrilled that 67% of students achieved 3+ A*-C grades, once again out-performing the Northern Ireland average for similar schools. An outstanding 88% of all entries gained an A*-C grade and 100% of students achieved 2+ A*-E.

The highest achievers this year were:

We are extremely proud of the many other students who achieved their personal best right across the curriculum, many exceeding their expectations and opening doors to new opportunities.

Abbey Community College celebrates everyone’s achievement; staff and students have worked hard together, been supported by parents and we all enjoy the rewards of success.

We are delighted that a significant number of our young people have now secured places on a wide range of courses such as Business Management, Criminology with Forensic Science, Criminology and Psychology, Digital Media, Early Childhood Studies, Foundation Art, Hospitality Management and Tourism, Health, Physical Education and Sport.

This autumn the will begin their studies at various Further and Higher Education institutions such as Queens University, Ulster University, University of Cumbria, Liverpool John Moore’s, Stranmillis University College, Belfast Metropolitan College and Northern Regional College. 

Others will progress to take up training opportunities or make the transition directly into apprenticeships and employment in their chosen field.

The Principal, Mrs Quinn, and staff and Governors acknowledge the significant contribution that those who are leaving have made to our school community.

It has been a privilege to teach and work with them and we wish them continued success in education or the world of work. They are amazing role models for future generations of young people at Abbey Community College.
