In addition to those achieving the highest grades, we congratulate all those who have achieved grades that are strong for them – in other words, their personal best. As an all-ability integrated college we celebrate and encourage the best in all of our students.

High examination results are a key goal for us, as they are for any strong school. We are also proud, however, of the personal qualities of the students at Drumragh. We emphasise the importance of positive, tolerant attitudes, of developing the skills that employers want and of being a real contributor to society.

Staff deserve recognition for their part in the many successes Drumragh is celebrating. They have worked so hard alongside students, supporting them and sharing their amazing 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.

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.
