As past of the national First Trust Build a Bank Challenge, a group of our Year 11 GCSE Business studies pupils have launched the ERGS ‘Bank of Royals’. The challenge is an initiative which encourages secondary schools across Northern Ireland to open and run their own bank for a year. In each participating school, aRead more
Enniskillen Royal welcomed their first “Top 8” side of the season to the Eisenhower playing fields in the form of Omagh Academy. Both sides had been considerably depleted by injuries over recent weeks so it promised to give coaches an insight into the strength and depth of their respective ‘benches’. It was gratifying, therefore, thatRead more
Enniskillen Royal Grammar School made the relatively short journey to Omagh to play their local rivals in the last game before the festive break. In a close and at times tense affair it was the Fermanagh side that edged the contest by 17 points to 14 . Omagh got off to a great start, afterRead more
On arriving at the Omagh ground it was clear that the Enniskillen boys had let their week’s worth of research into the opposition negatively influence their confidence. For the opening 10 minutes the Omagh team attacked whilst the Enniskillen defence looked straggled and unorganised with two converted tries being scored against them in quick succession.Read more
On Friday 16th December, Enniskillen Royal once again took to the courts in Lisnaskea. On this occasion, it was the Year 11 Netball tournament. The girls have been very committed to their Thursday practices, making the weekly commute from LS to CC without complaint. Unfortunately, through injury or illness, we were missing 3 of ourRead more

Year I left ERGS: 2019
A” Level subjects studied: Technology and Design, Mathematics and Business Studies (Spanish at AS Level)
Pathway after school: Started university in September 2019 whilst working part-time in my family business as Assistant Shop Manager
University attended: Queen’s University Belfast
Course studied: Business Management with Placement (4 years)
I started at Queen’s University Belfast in September 2019 and enjoyed a few months of a “normal” university experience before COVID-19 brought a sudden shift to online learning in March 2020.
During my time at university, I was awarded Top Business Management Student (2019/2020) and Top Student for History and Philosophy. I also completed the Degree Plus Award for Future Ready Skills in Management before graduating in 2023 with a First Class Honours degree.
After graduating, I was approached on LinkedIn about an opportunity that led to me joining the Oil Market Journal (OMJ) as Business Development Manager in Enniskillen in September 2023.
Although I have always lived at home in County Tyrone, I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had to travel with work, including visits to Dubai, Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany, as well as across the UK and Ireland.
Outside of work, I help out in my family business and volunteer both as a Girlguiding leader and as a youth club leader within my church. Through Girlguiding, I have also enjoyed incredible experiences, including spending a week as part of the crew on a Tall Ships yacht and, more recently, completing the Queen’s Guide Award — the highest award available within Girlguiding UK.
I am very grateful to both the Collegiate and Enniskillen Royal Grammar School for providing me with such a strong foundation and for encouraging the values of hard work, resilience and determination from an early age.

Year I left: 2020
Subjects: Geography, Biology and English Literature
As part of the first full GCSE cohort of the school, I left ERGS on a random day in March 2020. Our formal was cancelled and we all expected to be back after a couple of weeks — but we all know what happened next.
I knew the COVID-19 pandemic was going to ruin the typical “freshers” experience, so I deferred my place at Newcastle University to work in my local SPAR for a year. I was sad seeing all my friends leave, but I built up money and work experience that helped open doors for me in the future.
I’d recommend Newcastle to any student. I made some amazing memories and left with a First Class BSc in Environmental Science with Placement, along with an award for the best dissertation in my year.
My placement year was spent as an Assistant Geo-Environmental Consultant at Tetra Tech in Belfast. I worked on some really big projects, including the GeoEnergyNI demonstrator project - the first large-scale geothermal investigation of Northern Ireland.
I am currently studying a Master’s Degree in Forestry for Green Sustainable Development at Linnaeus University in Sweden. There are no tuition fees in Sweden for EU citizens or those with an Irish passport, so I think this is a pathway that should be promoted more often. I really love it over here and everything is taught in English, so don’t worry if your Swedish isn’t up to scratch!
Thank you to Mr Beddard for shouting at me to fix my deforestation homework. It turns out I’m quite good at talking about trees after all!
The GJ14 8X+ finished first in the time trial this morning qualifying for the A Final which takes place at 17.21 this evening. They are currently in Lane 4 but lanes may be redrawn due to wind.
