New Sixth Form Prospectus
Wondering what to do post 16? Cullybackey High School has a range of Applied and other AS courses on offer, both in school and as part of the Ballymena Learning Together consortium of schools. The on-line prospectus gives details of those courses and, while we would prefer you to have five GCSEs at C or above (including English and Maths), we are happy to chat to you about enrolment if your results are not what you had hoped for. Read over the prospectus and contact the school to make arrangements for an interview if you are interested.

U13 Football Team Cup Final
Well done to the U13 Football Team for their efforts this season, which culminated in the cup final on Tuesday 27th March. Cullybackey led 1-0 at half time thanks to a spectacular goal from Ryan McMullan, but Dunluce equalised and penalty kicks were required to settle the game.
National Book Week: Fancy Dress
It was wonderful to see so many teachers and pupils inspired by characters that they had read about in a novel. Everyone made a fantastic effort and really showed what a creative place CHS is. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes in each registration class.
