Campbell College

Our vision is to inspire individuals to be the best they can be; contribute to the world around them and grow into men of character. We are committed to providing an education that enables each and every boy fulfil his potential - whether in the classroom, on the stage or on the sports field. We believe education is an holistic experience that should celebrate the creative, physical and spiritual as well as the intellectual. We want boys to leave the school with an assured set of values, we want them to believe they can truly make a difference in society; we want boys to leave with things that are going to matter to them for the rest of their lives.

Campbell College first opened its doors in 1894 thanks to philanthropist Henry James Campbell and has been educating boys from all over the world ever since. The stunning 100 acre woodland campus sits on the edge of Belfast and the original redbrick Victorian building remains a striking centre piece of the College today. Home to over 1200 boys aged 3-18, the College has added state of the art facilities throughout its existence but the ethos remains true to the intentions of its founder. Respect, service and leadership.

With a Junior School, Senior School and a thriving international Boarding department the College represents one of the leading Boarding and Day Schools on the Island of Ireland.

Our motto Ne Obliviscaris is born out of a history of leadership and service reflected particularly during the two world wars and our Royal Charter status was presented in 1951 in honour of those we lost.

The diverse list of our alumni is a reflection of a College that truly celebrates the individual and our heritage is celebrated by Campbellians, old and new, across the world.

We believe that pupils learn best when they are happy, safe and secure; the purpose of our pastoral care is to provide such an environment. The strong, caring ethos of the college is demonstrated by its commitment to the welfare of the pupils and staff.

All boys are allocated a personal tutor who is the first point of contact for parents. You will find more information regarding pastoral care in our Parent Guide to Pastoral Care which will be sent to you once your son takes up his place at Campbell College.

The College's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy contains guidance on how parents may make known any concerns they have about their, or another child's safety. The Designated Teacher for Child Protection is Mr C Oswald (Vice-Principal). The Deputy Designated Teachers for Child Protection are Mrs W Pearson (Boarding Tutor and Head of Home Economics) and Mrs R McNaught (Head of Modern Languages)
