Year 9 and 10 pupils from St Paul’s High School, Bessbrook were presented with certificates by Literacy Co-ordinator Mrs K McCormick to celebrate achievements in their acquisition of English Language. They were assessed on Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening skills ranging in levels from Foundation Level to Level 2 in JETSET Accreditation, offered by EDI Qualifications.

St Paul’s High School is a thriving, innovative educational community of almost 1500 students of all abilities, from children with learning difficulties in our Learning Support Centre to high calibre academic achievers in our AS, A2 and Applied Post-16 courses. All classrooms are equipped as standard with interactive whiteboards, and students and staff are encouraged to make the fullest use of technology for learning and teaching.

The school, which was established in 1966 with the aim of providing its pupils with a Christian education within the Catholic ethos, is situated on a modern campus in pleasant rural surrounding in the townland of Carrickbracken, County Armagh. St Paul’s High School was designated by the Department of Education as a Specialist College for Science in 2008, and the school was awarded the BECTA ICT Mark in 2009.
