Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College
Résumé
Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College (informally Bangor Academy) is an 11–18 co-educational, secondary school and sixth form in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland.
As of March 2023, the school is the largest in Northern Ireland with 1,835 pupils enrolled at the school.
The school was formed as part of a merger between the Bangor High for Girls school and Gransha Boys' High school. The name for the newly formed school was Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College. AWJ Hyndman was appointed to be the school's first principal.
The motto of Gransha Boys' High school was Conando Progredimur ("endeavour to be better"). The school was eventually bulldozed and cleared in 2008.
The schools officially merged in 2001, it was decided to locate the Junior year groups, years 8, 9, and 10 at the Gransha Road campus, the Senior year groups, years 11, 12 and Sixth Form were based at the Castle Street campus.
It was announced on 1 March 2001 by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland that a new school campus was to be built to accommodate 1,650 pupils with an investment package totalling £21 million.
All year groups moved into the new school building located on the Castle Park Road in 2008.
In March 2023, the school announced its plans to "transform" into an integrated school. Its current stage is at the parent/guardian ballot, which will take place between 6 May and 6 June 2023.
The Gryphon is the official emblem of the school which was adopted from the Gransha Boys' High school emblem. The old Gransha motto was dropped, however.
Staffing comprises 91 teachers and 24 non-teaching staff. With the addition of supervisory, school meals, facilities management and cleaning staff the school employs 160 people.
The pupil to teacher ratios for 2012-2013 was 16:6 calculated by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland.
The school has been recognised for its work through awards including the status of Specialist School in Humanities by the Department of Education, the International School Award by the British Council and both the Northern Ireland and National Training Awards by the Department of Employment and Learning.
