Welcome from the Principal, Mr AWJ Hyndman
Thank you for your interest in Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College, Specialist School in Humanities 2008 - 2012.
The past few years have been very exciting in the life of the school as we have witnessed achievement after achievement by our pupils both inside and outside the classroom.
These successes were most recently recognised with the award of Specialist School Status by the Department of Education back in June 2008.
Within the classroom, our examination results have shown we continue to improve academic performance for our students, with 51.2% of all GCSE entries achieving Grade C or above.
In A level, we achieved 93.3% of pass grades in our entry and, of these grades, 59.3% were grade C or above. 31 of our young people have transferred to university this year, and they are to be found in many locations throughout the
Whilst we acknowledge these examination successes, you may also be interested to know that Ashley Fletcher, gained 1st place in Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Single Award. This is the third successive year that we have achieved a 1st in A level.
Last year, Mark Baillie, gained 1st place in his GCE A Level in ICT (Single Award) in all of Northern Ireland and Christine Sloan came first in Health and Social Care (Single Award). All three are now students at Queen's University, Belfast.
Outside the classroom there has been much success on the sporting field and in the realm of outdoor pursuits. In soccer, rugby, netball, swimming, basketball, trampolining, gymnastiscs and golf we have many champions, not only winning championships but, in many cases, defending them successfully. Extra-curricular activities are also thriving indoors.
On stage, for example, we all enjoyed the school production of "Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat". This was a very succesful whole school event which offers a glimpse of the hard work and dedication that students and staff put into all aspects of life at Bangor Academy.
