Campbell College Belfast is one of the UK’s leading all boys day and boarding schools. We have 1,200 pupils aged 3–18, including a thriving international boarding community with over 130 boys.
We offer an education built on three pillars:
A world‑class education with a unique advantage: Northern Ireland’s grammar school system allows us to deliver a top-class academic and boarding provision that is significantly more accessible than many mainland UK alternatives.
Academic excellence rooted in the grammar tradition: Our academic approach ensures that every boy, day pupil or boarder, reaches his full potential.
An unrivalled campus: Set within a stunning 100-acre estate, our facilities are designed to inspire. We deliver excellent sports coaching, winning teams, and the academic standards of a top-tier UK boarding school, delivered with warmth and care.
