Three years ago, the Catholic Church brought together a highly successful grammar school with two nearby secondary providers.

St Killian’s was created through the coming together of St Macnissi’s College, Garron Tower and two secondary schools – St Comgall’s in Larne and St Aloysuis’ in Cushendall.
The inspection looked at achievements and standards, learning and teaching, curriculum provision, and leadership and management.
