Students, staff and parents at Drumragh Integrated College are celebrating a very strong set of GCSE results yet again this year. The college community is extremely proud of its students and extends its congratulations to every one of them. These students are building their future plans and successes, and the future looks bright for them. Many are now looking forward to beginning their A-level studies at Drumragh within the next two weeks – and so a new chapter in their life story begins.
Drumragh Integrated College continues to move forward, and its 2019 GCSE results provide ample evidence of this. These excellent achievements reflect much more than just intelligence; they show clearly the commitment and the strength of character that each of these young people has. Great exam results require a combination of brainpower, dedication and character, and these students have shown they are rich in all three ingredients.
Drumragh Integrated College has been enjoying the rewards of all the months and years of dedicated hard work that have been fulfilled by its Sixth Form students, supported brilliantly by staff and parents. The college’s warm congratulations go to them all.
Many students have successfully gained entry to their university courses and future pathways. This is an exciting next step for each of them and they thoroughly deserve their success. The college community is proud of their talents, their values and their commitment to their studies. Drumragh also thanks those who are leaving for all they have given to the college family during their years of study there – it’s been a privilege to teach and work with them.
These excellent results involve much more than intelligence – they showcase the strength of character that each of these young people has, including their grit and determination. They also bear witness to the inspiring way in which members of the college community work together. Individual A level successes include the following:

Led by people with experience of disability, the charity is at the heart of local life - opening doors to opportunity and choice. If you can, please make a donation to our cause and be assured that you will be making a huge difference to somebody in your local community. All funds raised will be donated directly to the Omagh service.
