Vision & Values
At the Royal School, Armagh we believe firmly that character can be developed significantly and that pupils can become exceptionally rounded. Impelling pupils into carefully designed experiences without their comfort zone; pushing them to strive to master something they think they cannot do and the sense of achievement, confidence and self-esteem which accrues from doing just that is the development of character!
The original mission of the school was a simple strap-line: “For the encrease of learninge and good manners”. This school has always therefore seen education in its widest possible sense. The way pupils “are”, their demeanour and their “quality of being” have always been held to be as important as the certificates they achieve.
