Welcome

I warmly welcome you to the website for Enniskillen Royal Grammar School. Enniskillen Royal Grammar School is a new academically selective, co-educational, non-denominational voluntary grammar school, opening on 1 September 2016 and bringing together the school communities of the Collegiate Grammar School and Portora Royal School.

At the heart of the vision for the new school is the commitment to make it a centre of excellence where pupils are known and valued as individuals and where they are challenged and supported in equal measure by a staff committed to pursuing the highest standards across a wide range of curricular and extra-curricular learning experiences.

It is our vision to make Enniskillen Royal Grammar School a vibrant and purposeful community underpinned by strong and healthy relationships, a community at ease with itself and at ease within its wider communities. We want to encourage our pupils to grow in self-knowledge and self-confidence as they are enabled to identify, fulfil and exceed their potential in as many areas as possible.

We want them to achieve academically and to learn what it means to be well-adjusted young men and women with respect for self and others and a desire to contribute actively to their wider community.

Enniskillen Royal Grammar School will also build strong and purposeful links with a wide range of partners in the local and wider community at regional and national level. In so doing we want to ensure that our school community, whilst firmly rooted in its community here in County Fermanagh and Tyrone, is also outward looking, enabling our young people to take their place in local, regional, national and global communities as well-rounded and forward looking individuals.

Our new school motto is “Perstare et Praestare” –to persevere and to excel. A lot of careful planning is being taken forward in preparation for September 2016 as we seek to live out this motto on the ground to make Enniskillen Royal Grammar School the very best it can be for the young people in our care.   We will endeavour to keep you up to date with on-going developments on this website which we hope in time will often celebrate the many achievements of our school community. As a school community we place a high premium on open channels of communication: please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss anything further or arrange a visit.
