Welcome to the website of Foyle College, a Co-educational, Voluntary Grammar School which has been providing high quality education for the City of Derry/Londonderry and its surrounding area for over 400 years.

We are delighted to be able to share with you something of the character and life of our school and the successes enjoyed by our pupils as we help them to grow academically, athletically, artistically and technologically, enabling them to fulfill their potential both as members of the school community and as contributors to society.

Whether you are a current, former or prospective pupil, an interested parent or a member of the local community, I hope that you will find our site informative and illustrative of the breadth and quality of education on offer at Foyle College.

A Message From Our Students

Esther

Esther

Head Girl
"We have all had our own unique journeys at Foyle. When I first joined, I was unsure of where I would fit in. However, my worries were soon remedied when I was greeted with a warmth like nowhere else."



Zoe

Zoe

Year 8
"One of the biggest reasons I settled in so well was the support system in place for new pupils. The Foyle Guardians played a huge role in helping us during the first few weeks answering questions and checking that we were ok. "


Darwyn

Darwyn

Head Boy
"Choosing your next school is a big decision, and one I know can feel overwhelming. 7 years ago I was in that very position. I sat there wondering if this was the place for me, would it let me play rugby, learn an instrument"


Cormac

Cormac

Year 8
"Foyle feels like home, the teachers, the clubs, the friendships - everything here has helped me settle in, feel confident, and I’ve enjoyed the transition into big school."
