Campbell College

The school focuses on helping every pupil become the best version of themselves within a community where they feel known, cared for, and inspired. It promotes a culture of excellence that is personal rather than pressure-driven, emphasizing character, courage, and connection. The school values joyful learning and meaningful relationships, aiming to develop pupils with strong values and open minds.

The school follows the Northern Ireland Curriculum, covering areas such as Language & Literacy, Mathematics & Numeracy, The Arts, and The World Around Us. Senior pupils study a broad range of subjects including Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Digital Technology, Design & Technology, Drama, Geography, History & Politics, Hospitality, Leisure & Tourism, Mathematics, Media Studies, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Religious Studies, and various Science awards. The school also offers IGCSE in English as an Additional Language and specialized vocational pathways like Motor Vehicle (MVRUS).

The school reports that 98% of pupils continue to tertiary education, with 33% of pupils proceeding to Russell Group universities. Pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, character, and a clear sense of identity to prepare them for life beyond the college.

The school is committed to inclusive education and follows the Code of Practice for the Identification and Assessment of Special Educational Needs. A Learning Support Coordinator works with class teachers and learning support assistants to identify barriers to learning and provide matched accommodations. Support is provided through individualised plans, and the school facilitates transition workshops for parents of pupils with additional needs.

The school manages admissions for Kindergarten, Junior, Senior, and Boarding levels. Prospective families can arrange tours or virtual meetings with the relevant heads of school, and international families may schedule calls with the Head of Boarding. The admissions process requires a deposit upon acceptance of a place, with specific amounts varying by school level.

The school operates on a term-based calendar, with dates provided for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years. The school day and term structures are available to current parents through the college portal.
