St. Malachy's College

St. Malachy's College Founded in 1833, St Malachy’s College is a Catholic Grammar School. This page is the official page for keeping up to date with the College.

Founded in 1833, St Malachy’s College is a Catholic Grammar School for boys. We take great pride in the history of the College which was opened on St Malachy’s Day 3rd November 1833. The College began with eight boarders and ten day pupils. Today the population has grown to over 1000 pupils. The pupils, with the coat of arms of the Diocese of Down and Connor on their school badge,remain loyal to the rich tradition of the College. The aims and ethos of the College are based on partnerships. These come in many forms and their success enables the school to be all that it is. We work very closely with our link primary schools to ensure that the transition from primary to St Malachy’s College is a natural and positive experience. We make sure we keep you informed of your son’s progress on a regular basis through our strong pastoral care system. A parent can always speak to someone who knows their child. St Malachy’s has a very strong Careers Education Department which works in close partnership with a wide range of local companies to provide careers advice and guidance to pupils throughout each stage of the pupil’s education.

Good luck to you all as you continue your GCSE studies!

Léiríonn an rath iontach seo a gcuid oibre crua agus a ndíograis.

GCSE Module Success

We are delighted to recognise the outstanding GCSE module results achieved by our new Year 12 cohort this August.

These results represent the culmination of their first year of GCSE study and reflect the dedication, perseverance and hard work shown by students throughout Year 11. While there is still another year of GCSE study ahead, these achievements provide an excellent foundation for future success.

We are incredibly proud of every student and the commitment they have demonstrated. Pictured are some of the top achieving students in the year group, with an impressive 190 A*/A grades in this photo. Some highly commendable performances include:
- 100% A* grades in GCSE Irish
- 100% A*-C grades in GCSE Mathematics
- 100% A*-C grades in GCSE Government and Politics

Congratulations to all our boys on a fantastic set of Year 11 results. We look forward to seeing what you can achieve as you build on this success in the final year of your GCSE studies.
