Irish Schools Cross Country Championships
Congratulations to Year 9 pupil Madison Welby who won the Minor Girls Irish Schools Cross Country Championships in Dublin at the weekend.
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.
