Mr Kyle McCallan MBE, Headmaster, said, "I'm delighted to congratulate our students on another excellent set of A-Level results. It is truly heartening to see their unwavering commitment and hard work rewarded with such success. We're especially proud of the impressive rise in top grades, which highlights the consistent excellence we strive for each and every day at the College as we uphold our school motto, Meliora Sequor – to follow better things. 

While the results are very pleasing, what's most important to me are the individuals behind each grade—our pupils and their families. This is a time for celebrating, and I’m so pleased that the vast majority of our leavers are now ready to take their next step, whether that's at university, a higher-level apprenticeship, or a fulfilling career.

These results don’t happen by chance and are the result of the collective efforts of our entire learning community. I want to express my deepest gratitude to our staff, both teachers and support staff, who year after year dedicate themselves to creating an exceptional learning environment where every pupil can flourish.

I also want to thank our parents for their partnership and incredible support, which is so vital to the results we celebrate today. It is also important to acknowledge the crucial role played by our feeder primary schools and Lurgan Junior High School, who lay the vital foundations for these pupils from the very beginning of their educational journey’s.

To our Year 14 leavers: thank you for being such a valued part of the Lurgan College family and I trust you will always feel that acute sense of belonging to something truly special. We wish you all the very best for a bright and successful future."
