Exam Results
In 2012 the school received its best ever GCSE results, with 85% of pupils attaining five A*-C GCSE passes or better. This is an 8% increase on 2011 and the first time the school has achieved over 80%. The 85% statistic would put the school into the top 6% of all non-selective schools in Northern Ireland, and would make it one of the top two performing non-selective controlled schools in the Southern Education and Library Board, with results more than 20% above the Northern Ireland average for non-selective schools.
