HEADMASTER

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website which I hope you find to be informative. Everything that we do at Carrickfergus College is for the benefit of our pupils as we seek to fulfil our vision of 'Developing and Empowering Young People for Life'.

We are delighted that the school enrolment has grown steadily over the last four years to just under 800 students, reflecting the popularity of the College in the local

community. We believe the growing success of the College is due to a range of factors including: an extensive and well resourced curriculum which meets the needs of a wide range of abilities in the 11 - 18 range, quality pastoral care, quality teachers and teaching, and a comprehensive range of extra curricular activities. A forward looking approach coupled with an attitude of continually seeking to improve provision is a hallmark which ensures high standards and high expectations from both staff and pupils.

The extensive international links - involving some eleven countries in curriculum initiatives, our commitment to the successful collaborative venture - the Carrickfergus Learning Community, and recent Specialist designation as a centre of excellence in Business and Enterprise education, demonstrates our intention to be at the cutting edge of educational development for the benefit of our pupils and the community. Carrickfergus College is a good school becoming even better. This website will give you some insight into college life, but do feel free to contact the school for further information.
