It was fantastic to get the whole school out this afternoon to welcome the FTD Brothers as they passed Algeo Drive with a few familiar faces running along side them for such a worthy cause.
Congratulations to Year 8 pupil Beth Johnston who, along with her Lisbellaw Utd teammates, proudly lifted the U14 Northern Ireland Plate on Monday after a thrilling final against Tristar. A fitting reward for the hard work and commitment the girls have shown all season.

At the end of April the House point totals show serious point accumulation from all 4 houses. Benaughlin stretch out their lead to 1864 points opening up a 41 point lead ahead of Cuilcagh in second place with 1823. Belmore maintain their 3rd position with a healthy 1735 points and Trien continue to trail but are still in the race with 1687 points.
A huge well done to Ciara McCusker who maintains her top house point earner position with a massive 50 points so far this year and well done to Zoey Wallington-Forde who has now made it onto the podium in second place with 42 points, with Aimiee Nixon holding 3rd place with 24 points.
The summer term is the big finish for House competitions with Sports Days approaching fast and various other events planned once the Ks3 exams are finished. As we have seen in previous years it is all still top play for…. The big question is have Benaughlin created themselves a big enough lead to hold off the competition?
Our Colours Assembly on Wednesday 29th April 2026 saw us honour almost two hundred pupils for their commitment to excellence through perseverance in a wide range of extra-curricular sports, music and drama. Twenty pupils were also honoured for representing their sport at Ulster or Irish Level. A fitting end to a scintillating year of success in the rich abundance of extracurricular activities which is a distinctive hallmark of our school.

Being named the best school in Irish rowing and securing nine major victories is a phenomenal achievement, and one that places Enniskillen Royal Boat Club firmly at the very top of school rowing in Ireland.
We are immensely proud of every student who contributed to this success. Their commitment, resilience and teamwork have been exceptional throughout the season, and these results are so deserved.
A sincere thank you to Mr Holland, to our dedicated coaches, to the parents, and to all those who continue to support and champion the club.
An unforgettable achievement for ERBC, brilliantly captured by our local newspapers Impartial Reporter & Fermanagh Herald
