Values
At Ballyclare High School, our values are more than words - they are the foundation of our identity and the driving force behind every decision we make. They shape how we teach, how we lead, how we treat one another, and what we aspire to become. These values - Respect, Care, Perseverance, Creativity, Ambition, and Success - are intentionally woven into school life so that they are spoken and lived. When pupils, staff, and parents understand these values and see them in action, they create a shared sense of purpose, belonging, and excellence. This section outlines the values that define who we are and what we stand for; because when we live by them, we empower every member of our school community to thrive.

Over the last couple of weeks, our Year 10 History classes have visited the Somme Heritage Centre in Newtownards to deepen their understanding of the First World War from a Northern Ireland perspective.
Through handling artefacts, exploring a trench reconstruction and watching archive footage, pupils gained valuable insight into the experiences of soldiers and civilians during the conflict.
These engaging and thought-provoking visits helped bring this important period of history to life.
