Academic Excellence

Thanks to our highly effective teachers, our students’ attainment levels are way beyond the national averages at both Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle. We will have an Artist in Residency in school working with our students on the whole area of student voice and identity.

At Junior Cycle-
  • Assessment reforms have been fully embedded and teachers have spent the last six years ensuring they are fully trained in this area.

At Leaving Certificate


  • We cannot possibly do justice to the Leaving Certificate Class of 2022. As Principal Mrs. Eileen Donohoe expressed, ‘We are tremendously proud of each and every one of our students. They are wonderful Ambassadors of our school and despite the upheaval of the last two years, their spirits never waned and they embraced all of what school life has to offer.’

    We know that the Leaving Certificate is about much more than points but the outstanding achievements of a number of our students deserves mention. A staggering 36 % of our students scored in excess of 500 points, with 19 of these achieving more than 600 points. These incredible students succeeded in achieving H1s across the board in their subjects.

    Below is a little glimpse into the stellar students that have graced and continue to grace our halls.

Excellence in Maths

We are the only school in the local area to offer Applied Maths as an Optional Subject for Leaving Certificate. The talent and standard in Maths in both Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle in ACC is evident not only at the point of examination but also in the number of competitions our students enter and ultimately win. 

Amazingly, Alfie Coogan scored a perfect score of 100% in his Leaving Certificate Maths examination and just over a whopping 98% in Applied Maths, Physics and Chemistry. During his time here in school, Alfie has excelled in the area of Mathematics. He has been an All-Ireland finalist in the Irish Maths Teachers Association Maths (IMTA) Competition, 2022, an All-Ireland champion in the Irish Applied Maths Teachers’ Association (IAMTA) Junior Problem Solver Quiz in 2020, 2019. Maths is not the only area where Alfie excels. In his Junior Cycle, Alfie was invited to take part in the Irish Junior Science Olympiad. Alfie also is a keen swimmer and was on the school relay swim team, which competed in the national finals.
