Record Results In 2015 Campbell College celebrated the best A Level and GCSE results in a decade - a superb achievement that is credit to the collective work of the pupils, staff and parents. However, as we continue the drive to deliver academic excellence it is important to ask the question “What is school for - producing boys with qualifications or producing boys who are educated?’ One of the biggest changes witnessed in education in the last 25 years is the increased use of measurement. Whether it is league tables, percentages, comparisons, national averages or otherwise there is an insatiable appetite to “measure what is measurable and make measurable what is not.” * Whilst these may be important in guiding when selecting schools, it is important to look behind the numbers. Every pupil is different. At Campbell College we aspire to educate our boys to become rounded individuals, men of character. To attain the best possible grades and achieve in all aspects of life within an environment that is supportive and caring. To follow are details of our ‘record breaking’ results of which we are immensely proud and other results which merit recognition. * Galileo Galilei

Inspiring Individuals
Four of our pupils achieved the full house of 11A*’s at GCSE. These superb performances demonstrate that the highest achievements are possible from different starting points with the right guidance and support.
More Than A Score
Patrick Osborne 4 A*’s A star performer with 4 A*’s Patrick is a keen rugby player having been selected for the U16 Ulster Rugby Development Squad. He has also represented Ulster at Squash and having taken a year off is currently interviewing for Oxford to read Engineering in 2016. Subjects: Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics
Alistair Hunter: 3A*’s and 1 A This year for the first time it is possible to look at GCSE results and evaluate how the boys progressed based on their entry AQE/GL score in P7. As a reassurance to all, it is interesting to view that under performance at AQE/GL is by no means an indicator of a poor academic future. The three boys represented in this table would have fallen outside the admissions range of a number of competitor schools scoring below 100, but each delivered very strong GCSE results. These performances demonstrate the value this school adds to every pupil.and also highlight that education is a journey with different people progressing at different rates. For one of these boys Campbell was his second preference and as his father put it, “the 2 AQE marks by which he fell short were the best 2 marks he never got!” Pupil Name
Keen hockey player Alistair was at Campbell College since Kindergarten and is reading Engineering at Durham University. He was delighted with his A*s in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics and an A in Chemistry. “Campbell is about so much more that the academic side.” Subjects: Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics
Matthew McClurg: Tennis Scholarship Campbell College is about inspiring individuals to achieve their personal best whether it is in academia, sport or otherwise. Matthew McClurg has played tennis since he was 5 years old and has represented Ulster at U12, U14, U16 and U18 level.
