Mr Massey said: “I would never in my dreams believe that a year and a half into my career as a Principal, I would be representing a school shortlisted for such an amazing title, and to come in as runner up.

“We know that Glengormley High School is an amazing school with GCSE results that are leading the way! But to be the sole school from Northern Ireland shortlisted for the final reaffirms our exciting journey.”

The six school representatives who travelled to Birmingham represented various roles within the school ranging from Head of Department, Head of Data, SENCO, Teaching Assistant and Office Manager.

Mr Massey added; “We brought a range of people to represent our school because every member of staff represents our positive journey. The combined effort of all staff has brought us to such an amazing place!”
