Our School Community! 
Belfast Model School for Girls has an extraordinarily rich and proud history. We are a vibrant, successful, inclusive, and flourishing school community in its 72nd year which embodies its school motto of ‘Achievement for All’. Our school is strongly rooted in the North Belfast community serving 1100 students aged 11 to 19 and we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, warm, friendly, and caring school where we place an extremely high value on establishing and nurturing strong positive relationships with all in our school’s community.
Our students are expected to follow the ‘Model Way’ of being safe, respectful, and ready to learn to develop core values and behaviours such as respect, responsibility, charity, and kindness, as we give these ‘values’ equal importance to attaining academic results. Developing these values allows our students to be open-minded, tolerant, forgiving, supportive, and caring of each other regardless of advantage, background, ethnicity, culture, and/or religion.
The school offers a 7-year learning journey from Year 8 right through to the end of Year 14 and we take pride in celebrating the many talents and achievements of our students, and in particular reward their effort and positive attitude, and encourage them to learn from their mistakes, as it is our central belief that much can be accomplished through hard work and by not giving up.
Dedicated staff place the students at the heart of all that we do and provide them with excellent pastoral care to promote their wellbeing, tailored support to meet their needs, and high-quality teaching to ensure they make continual progress in each Key Stage of their learning. We also provide our students with a broad and balanced curriculum and a wide range of qualifications and enrichment opportunities to develop their education, skills, experiences, and resilience to become successful lifelong learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens.
It is our ambition at Belfast Model School for Girls that when our students leave us, they will go on to be future change makers and take an active role in shaping and making Northern Ireland and the world a better place for us all. To quote John F Kennedy the 35th President of America; “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.”
