At Saintfield High School, we strive to ensure that every single pupil achieves their full potential and there are many strands which contribute to our ‘Curriculum for Excellence’
The curriculum for Years 11 and 12 is determined by core subjects, which are compulsory, and a selection of subjects which are chosen by pupils at the end
of Year 10. At Saintfield High School, we continually review and revise our Key Stage Four curriculum so that it fully meets the interests and aptitudes of our pupils.

At Saintfield High School, we are extremely proud of all that our pupils achieve, both inside the classroom and outside the classroom. The importance of examinations for entry to higher and further education and employment cannot be overlooked. Results for external examinations have been of a consistently high standard over many years within the school. It is our policy that all pupils attempt to complete qualifications in the fullest range of subjects possible at GCSE level, and other Level 2 options.
"Our high standards of teaching and learning continue to bring rewards. Last year’s Year 12, who completed their education at Saintfield High School in June 2022, achieved an impressive set of GCSE results, which reflect their individual success. We are simply delighted that 92% of our pupils in 2022 achieved five or more GCSE grades at A*- C, with 85% of all pupils achieving five or more GCSE Grades at A* - C, including English and Mathematics. Additionally, each and every pupil left, having developed a wide range of skills in sport, music and a variety of extra-curricular interests, and indeed social skills.
