Carrickfergus Grammar School named as Families First 2024 ‘School of the Year’
Congratulations to Carrickfergus Grammar School who were named as the Families First 2024 'School of the Year' for the Northern Region. The controlled school outperformed competition from 11 other deserving finalists in this region to win.
The adjudicating panel made observations to include dedication of staff, excellent pastoral care and systems for Special Educational Needs (SEN) pupils. In addition to excellent outcomes at GCSE level, the school’s leading initiatives in relation to evidence-based learning and teaching, and for bringing ResearchED to Northern Ireland for teachers and educators.
Controlled schools are open to all, welcoming children and young people of all faiths and none, richly diverse and inclusive, reflective of and embedded in the communities they serve.
