Ethos

At Ballyclare High School we pride ourselves on a values-driven ethos. Relationships are built upon aspirant attitudes and team work where both participation and excellence are celebrated.

High levels of appropriate behaviour go hand in hand with motivated and able pupils; staff work together to ensure each child maximises the potential to grow in self-confidence and independence of mind. As an Ulster grammar school we look to blend the best of the traditional with the best of the contemporary and are renowned for our competitive performance. Academic success is driven by a research-based approach to teaching for learning and is enhanced by the breadth of our extra-curricular programme.

All we do is founded upon what is best for the child and promoting personal endeavour is what we strive to nurture, in a caring environment of trust.

 

“Any parent should know the ‘value added’ of the school and its desire to always give of its best for students. I’ve been in so many schools over nearly 4 years. Few places sacrifice so much for their learners. It is greatly appreciated”
