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]
