Welcome to Friends' School Lisburn
Friends’ is one of nine Quaker schools in Britain and Ireland and shares a common heritage with each of them. Although the School has grown and changed since its foundation in 1774, the Quaker belief in care for the individual and in the importance of the development of each person's potential remains central to our ethos and helps us to cater successfully for the different traditions in the Lisburn area. We hope you enjoy exploring our website and finding out more about what goes on in School.

Speech Day was held at Friends’ School on Friday 8 September, when certificates were presented to those who had completed GCSE and A-level examinations in 2023. The Guest of Honour was Old Scholar Heather McLachlan, Regional Director of the National Trust in Northern Ireland.
Congratulations to all of our pupils who received A2, AS and GCSE results this year. Everyone in school is delighted with what has been achieved, and pupils and their parents can be pleased with the high standards attained especially after all of the disruption of the last few years.
Year 14 pupil Sophie Hewitt was awarded 'Most Promising AS Student' for her recent work at the True Colour Exhibition at the Ulster Museum.
