A very warm welcome to Carrickfergus Grammar School, a thriving, exciting, ambitious and thoroughly aspirational selective Controlled school.

Our main aim is to offer our children a world-class education, reinforced by the most robust research-based evidence into high-quality learning and teaching. The Carrickfergus Grammar ‘brand’ of learning and teaching is a brand which we firmly believe will ensure our pupils are exposed to high aspiration, high expectation and huge opportunities in order to surpass potential. No labels, no limits, is the mantra of this school.
