Students, staff and parents are again celebrating a strong set of GCSE results this year, at Drumragh Integrated College. Many students have been delighted at the quality of their grades, and the percentage achieving five or more grades A*-C has risen significantly.

In addition to those achieving the highest grades, we congratulate all those who have achieved grades that are strong for them – their personal best. As an all-ability integrated college we celebrate and encourage the best in all of our students.
Staff deserve recognition for their part in the many successes we are celebrating. They have worked so hard alongside students, supporting them and sharing their considerable expertise with them. One of the many qualities of this college is the strength of the relationships that exist between students and staff. We also appreciate the hard work, commitment and support of parents; the partnership between home and school is vital.
High examination results are a key goal for us, as they are for any school. We are also proud, however, of the personal qualities of the students at Drumragh. We emphasise the importance of positive attitudes toward your fellow man or woman, of developing the skills that employers want and of being a real contributor to society.
Our aims are to work toward a better Northern Ireland in the future, by welcoming all and embracing difference, whilst providing a quality of education that is second to none. The brilliant achievements of these young people are clear evidence that these ideals are in fact a reality. It is clear that the path toward peace is a popular one, alongside quality education. It is time therefore for genuinely shared, integrated learning to be encouraged and facilitated, to take brave but urgent steps forward for the good of all.
