The Preparatory Department

The Preparatory Department of The Wallace High School is a co-educational, non denominational, single stream primary school.   The Wallace High School provides education for pupils from the age of two and ten months to the age  of eighteen.  All children, irrespective of race, nationality or religion are welcomed into our caring, family environment.

The Preparatory Department offers small class sizes, a lower teacher-pupil ratio allows for greater individual attention.  This helps to develop self confidence in our children and ensure they reach their full potential.  The Northern Ireland Curriculum is taught throughout the school.  Our academic standards are recognised as being exceptionally high. Over the past two years 95% of pupils have achieved a grammar school place.

Excellent facilities enable us to provide outstanding classroom resources, ICT and extra curricular activities.  We also offer flexible and affordable Before and After School care.
