Welcome to BHS

Thank you for taking time to visit our website.  We have taken time to put it together so that you can have a snapshot of what life is like in Ballymoney High School.  Our aim is to bring to the fore that our priority is our young people.  From the moment they enter the grounds in the morning, until after they leave the school premises at the end of each day, the welfare and learning of our pupils is paramount.  We provide a safe place for pupils to learn and grow together with the aim of ‘Giving you the opportunity to reach your potential’.

As prospective pupils or parents you are right to be asking the question, ‘why should we pick Ballymoney High School’?  Every pupil is afforded the opportunity to reach their potential and as a result, our external examination results have continued to hit new high records over the past five years. This does not happen by chance. Academic success at Ballymoney High School is a combination of overlapping areas such as Learning and Teaching, Pastoral Support, the right Curricular offer and focusing on the individual achievements of our young people. We celebrate and reward when pupils achieve, both at the top end of groups and against their own individual targets. If things do not go to plan, we take time to identify barriers to learning and put in place appropriate supports to fill that gap in pupil’s knowledge.

In September 2023 we will be starting Post-16 provision in Ballymoney High School.  The Department of Education have identified our school as meeting the criteria to deliver A-Levels and other Level three courses to our community and we are delighted to now be able to offer our learners the opportunity to be with us for seven years.  Please keep an eye on our website and social media pages over the next few months for updates.

I trust that you will find the information shared useful, and in particular what it means to be part of Ballymoney High School.  We always enjoy welcoming visitors and look forward to seeing you on our Open Night.  If you would like to chat with us more, please feel free to contact us and we’ll happily meet up in school at a time that suits. 

As a school we have a fantastic reputation and are proud of everything that our pupils achieve. Choosing a school is a very important decision and I believe our student-centred approach, high standards, outstanding teaching and personalised care, will ensure your child has a very successful and enjoyable future.
