Chairman’s Foreword

Welcome to the Annual Report for Friends’ School Lisburn for 2013-2014.

The school is in good heart, despite the funding squeeze of the last 5 years. Evidence of this was clear when the Department Inspectorate reported that the school had met criteria outlined and achieved “Outstanding” in all categories.

This result is not gained by a sudden burst of frantic activity, but is the outcome of steady good practice. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Principal in her leadership role, all the staff, teaching and non-teaching, the pupils and their families, and my fellow governors.

Young people today have to face many challenges that were not present or not spoken about 20-30 years ago. Teachers now have an increasing pastoral role, steering pupils through many difficulties and preparing them for life after school. These problems are not the domain of certain social classes or geographic areas and it is essential that staff, parents and pupils work together. Friends’ School was founded by the Religious Society of Friends and I think the concept of a “Society” is interesting. It implies a group whose aim is to strive for the well-being of the whole, while still recognising the individual. I hope that everyone at Friends’ feels part of a Society where they can feel nurtured and nurture the whole.

I hope you enjoy reading this Annual Report and celebrating all the academic, sporting, artistic and charitable achievements of the young people at Friends’.

Margrit Grey Chairman
