Performance
We are incredibly proud of all of our students. Over recent years, their school experience has been regularly punctuated with significant challenges, whether it was restrictions on their education due to the pandemic, or a delayed start to the academic year because of the fire at UCC. Staff and students throughout this period have been truly magnificent, and we are delighted with the exceptional outcomes our students achieve which are consistently above national averages.
Our inclusive approach means that, for us, a student's education goes beyond just the grades they receive at the end of year 11. We offer a varied curriculum which ensures that every student who joins the UCC community achieves what they need for the next stage of their education journey, enabling them to lead successful and fulfilling lives.

Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years.
