This was my primary school and I loved it, from the teachers to the layout, really sad to drive past most days and seeing the school gone and being made into houses, lots of memories and good ones at that! read more

Both my…read morechildren go here as it was recommended to me on the strengths of excellent teaching and pastoral care. One of my children is very academic and is doing so well, she is definitely stretched and is expected to do very well at gcse and a-level. My other child has a statement of special need and is blooming as well. Neither has ever experienced bullying, of course there are loudmouths but you get that any school. The school is tied to letting you pick four gcses as the other four are compulsory (govt). I think taking 8 gcses is more than enough for any child.
Inclusive society and good chances for education. These are two things you will not receive here. A…read morelot of people don't know how to spell inclusive, they don't know what it means. There are particular groups of people who will harass you at every opportunity they can. They only let you pick 4 GCSE's and if you pick Double Award Science, only 3. Some of the rules here are nonsensical, and if you breach them, expect an awkward trip to your Year Head. The teachers are mixed. Some good, some not so much. All in all, this school is a disappointment because I would have expected more. Unfortunately, it is not the 'Best School East of Lough Neagh, it's not even the best school in Lisburn. If you don't listen to what they say and come here not expecting much, you'll be a little surprised. If you're smart and need a challenge, look elsewhere. In all likelihood, you'll be trapped in a class with loudmouths who never shut up, why? Well, because the class system is broken, too. You may be put in a class with the loudest, most annoying people ever for no apparent reason. And if you say anything, you'll be left hanging. Don't get me wrong, there are some good teachers who genuinely care about you, but, really, I would have expected more. Heed my advice, don't make this school your first choice.

Girls sports is maybe not the strongest in the older years though it appears to be improving. Principals here are always pretentious and often refer to the pupils as 'the cream of Belfast'. the 6th form centre is crampt but the school is currently being rebuilt so hopefully this will be greatly improved. the completion date is still unknownsupposedly it was 'meant' to be finished this year but really building has only just started and is a pain for pupils trying to concentrate as its quite noisy in classrooms close to the construction site. The majority of teachers are excellent and teach to a very high standard, and as much as I dislike the upcoming system and changes to education I would recommend this school to prospective students.

It's a strange mixture of 1950s buildings with a recently constructed technology and design department. This school is one of the strictest school I have ever been to, but this was not a bad thing by far. I was a lazy kid and without these teachers really pushing their classes and keeping a tight watch I probably wouldn't have gotten a single qualification. The place was really turned around into the top class institution it is now by its Principle P.J O'Grady who wants students to take pride in their college so much so that he can often be seen confiscating baseball caps from students wearing them on the walk home so as to not take away from the uniforms appearance. A great college of which I have a lot of fond memories.

The 350 pupils of the Primary School have been attending temporary classes in nearby Newtownabbey Community High School. In May 2010, The Department of Education approved £3.6m funding to rebuild the school. It is unclear when building work will be finished. In a news report, a stunned Mr McConkey (the schools headmaster) said that current arrangements for his pupils sharing facilities in a high school means they have cramped classrooms, not enough toilets, no access for hot meals for many pupils, limited space outside and no assembly hall. This school was my own Primary School and is one of the best in the area. I will provide updates regarding the school as and when they occur. I hope all involved with the school know that they have the support and best wishes from the community around them.
