Welcome

Welcome to Strathearn School, Belfast — the top-performing girls’ grammar school in Northern Ireland and proud recipient of The Sunday Times 2026 School of the Year award. At Strathearn, we are committed to providing an exceptional education that nurtures academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.

Our pupils benefit from an outstanding learning environment where high achievement is supported by inspirational teaching, strong pastoral care and a culture that encourages curiosity, independence and confidence. While academic excellence is at the heart of what we do, we recognise that a truly enriching education extends far beyond the classroom.

Strathearn offers a wide and dynamic range of extracurricular activities designed to broaden horizons, develop leadership, and help every girl discover and develop her unique strengths. From sport, music and drama to STEM, debating, outdoor pursuits and community service, our programmes are designed to build character, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.

We are immensely proud of our heritage, our achievements, and the vibrant, inclusive community that makes Strathearn such a special place. We invite you to explore our website and discover more about how a Strathearn education can empower each girl to thrive, both during her years with us and in the life that follows.
