St Conor's College is a secondary school located in Northern Ireland. It has two sites. The main site is in the village of Clady and a junior site is located in Kilrea. The school opened in September 2018. It is within the Education Authority (North Eastern) region.[2]
History[edit]
The college was formed in 2018 through the amalgamation of St Mary's College, Clady and St. Paul's College, Kilrea.
Academics[edit]
The college offers the full range of subjects at Key Stage 3 and 4 and at GCSE A-Level.[3] With the arrival of the children of Polish immigrants the college provides after school classes in Polish and the students can take a GCSE in Polish. There is also a Polish Cultural Week.[4]
