Coleraine Grammar School, which opened a year ago in September 2015 as a co-educational voluntary grammar school to serve the educational and developmental needs of our pupils and to build on the excellent foundations provided by Coleraine High School and Coleraine Academical Institution.
Our school provides a broad, balanced, and modern curriculum and high-quality learning and teaching supported by effective pastoral care. The personal development of the girls and boys benefits greatly from the wide range of extra-curricular activities which are on offer to our pupils.
Our Vision for Coleraine Grammar School is to provide a safe environment, with clear boundaries, in which every child is provided with high-quality learning opportunities and is inspired to develop a life-long love of learning. Each child is encouraged to develop academic, emotional, and physical aspects of their lives within a moral, spiritual, and values-based framework. This enables pupils to grow as individuals and achieve success in their lives now and in the future. We seek to encourage accountability for actions and solve problems by looking for positive solutions.
We are all responsible and accountable for the choices we make. We realize that with choices come consequences and in addition to accepting the consequences of our actions we take steps to put things right when things go wrong. We expect all members of the school community to be truthful and honest in all that they do, to know the difference between right and wrong, and to have the moral courage to do the right thing. We care for those who are in difficulty and who are hurting, recognizing that the world does not exist for us alone.
Every person in our school is of equal worth. We show the same respect to everyone. We are all responsible for controlling our emotions and impulses. We expect everyone to adhere to school rules. Each member of the school community should be loyal in both words and deeds to each other and the school.
Everyone is encouraged never to give up, to treat setbacks as learning experiences and a step towards success. We believe that through building resilience we can develop confidence, take hold of opportunities, and be independent and successful citizens. We seek to develop the skills to allow us to be independent lifelong learners. Everyone gives their very best at all times and encourages others to fulfill their potential without being critical or jealous of their efforts. We strive for high standards in all areas of life.
