Welcome to Carrickfergus College
Thank you for taking time to explore the College website. I hope you find it interesting and informative.
The college was officially opened in May 1960 and has a current enrolment in excess of 750 students. An extensive academic curriculum and extra mural programme is enthusiastically delivered by some 52 teachers. Pupils of a wide range of abilities benefit from their educational experience at the College, where, through high expectations and standards, pupils are encouraged and helped to reach their individual potential.

It is essential that young people have the opportunity to develop personal and interpersonal skills and this is achieved through a strong pastoral curriculum supported by caring staff. We firmly believe that the totality of experiences encountered throughout five or seven years at the College, equip our young people with the academic and social skills necessary for success in third level education, the world of work and the global community.
Whilst the website gives some insight into College life, the best experience is to come and visit the school at an open evening or by appointment with myself. You might even hear our award winning UTV Choir of the Year, or catch a competitive sporting fixture at our extensive playing fields.
Best wishes for now
Derek Campbell
Principal
