Ballyclare
High School
is one of the largest grammar schools
in Northern Ireland. The popularity of the school and its attraction
to
pupils,
many of them from beyond its immediate hinterland, is the result of
a long tradition of academic success and a distinctive school ethos
that
encourages self-discipline, mutual respect and tolerance. The high
level of academic success achieved by our pupils is the result of a
competitive
ethos, high standards of teaching and learning and good relationships
in the classroom. Those
pupils who choose to transfer to Ballyclare High School experience
a breadth and diversity of educational provision |
that
meets needs other than the purely academic
and which develops values, aptitudes and skills for life.As
past winners of the Ulster Bank Enterprising School Award, we are committed
to enterprise
in the widest sense. This is manifested in our broad range of European
and International links and in our Personal and Social Education programme,
including Health Education, as well as through our music, drama, art
and debating. A wide range of sports is played and a full programme
is scheduled every Saturday morning involving a large number of pupils
and staff, who willingly give up their time. |
