About Bangor Academy and 6th Form College

Bangor Academy and 6th Form College is a Secondary — Controlled for pupils aged not published based in ARDS AND NORTH DOWN, Northern Ireland. The school is mixed-gender and Open with a Does not apply character.

It has not published pupils on roll. School capacity: not published.

For most Northern Ireland schools this profile is built from the Department of Education school census reference data on Open Data NI (name, sector, council, address/postcode), not from the England/Wales GIAS bulk feed. Post-primary exam statistics come from the same department’s SAER open-data release where we match the school reference—not every phase has a SAER row. Ofsted, DfE GCSE/KS2 tables, and Parent View do not cover NI; inspection grades are published by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI). Confirm admissions and term dates with ARDS AND NORTH DOWN directly.

Northern Ireland: official sources

Open Data NI does publish education data (school census, reference lists, post-primary exam SAER, and more), but it is not the same schema as England’s GIAS + Ofsted + DfE performance feeds—so most blocks on this page stay empty on purpose. Post-primary schools may show a SAER table below when our Department of Education crawler has matched the school reference; primary and nursery schools normally will not, because SAER is a post-primary bulletin. For inspection outcomes use ETI; for other datasets browse the Department of Education organisation on Open Data NI via the links below.

Post-primary examination results (SAER 2024/25)

School-level indicators from the Department of Education's Summary of Annual Examination Results (Open Data NI). These are Northern Ireland-specific measures — not England GCSE / A-level tables. Official guidance is that they should not be used to rank schools on their own.

The information contained in this table does not provide a valid basis for comparing performance between schools, since it takes no account of intakes of the schools or of any other factors that may affect pupil performance. No single measurement can constitute a fair or accurate evaluation of a school, and the figures should be considered in the context of other information about schools and their pupils.
