Sullivan Upper Preparatory Department

9EP,

Sullivan Upper is a co-educational, inter-denominational, voluntary grammar school. The school was founded in 1877 and, since 1939, has occupied extensive grounds on the edge of Holywood. The school’s aims remain very much as they originally were: to provide the best possible education for all pupils, regardless of race, sex, background or religious denomination. Pupils come to Sullivan from a large catchment area, covering North Down, Ards and East Belfast. We provide for all our pupils as broad and balanced a curriculum as possible; we support it (as our motto lamh foisdineach an uachtar ‘the gentle hand foremost’ suggests) with a much-praised pastoral care system; and we extend it through a tremendous range of games, clubs, societies and other extracurricular activities. A truly dedicated team of teaching and non-teaching staff helps all of our pupils to develop their talents to the full and to prepare themselves effectively for the challenges and responsibilities of adult life. Our emphasis is strongly academic and we place a high value on academic achievement. Pupils entering the school at age 11 begin a 5-year course of study leading to GCSE examinations, in which they will be expected to enter for at least 9 subjects, and it is anticipated that the vast majority of those who take GCSE examinations will remain at school for a further 2 years to take GCE AS and Advanced Level courses before heading off to universities at home or across the water, including Oxford and Cambridge. Our proud record of tremendous results in public examinations shows that all pupils are empowered to realise their potential.

Being a boarder at Hereford Cathedral School is an incredibly exciting, rewarding, and enjoyable experience. Pupils who join the School will become part of one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious institutions with an exceptionally strong national and global reputation. Most likely founded in the 7th century, Hereford Cathedral School achieves outstanding examination success with pupils going onto study at the likes of Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and many other leading universities. Pupils who join the School find a warm, friendly, and inclusive environment. With first class facilities, boarders can make full use of being in the very heart of a beautiful and ancient city, while similarly experiencing the breath-taking scenery and all of the benefits that the countryside has to offer. At weekends, boarders have a busy and enjoyable programme including an incredible range of activities such as quad biking, ice-skating, and crazy golf; they are routinely joined by teachers and day pupils on these outings, characteristic of the integrated nature of the School community. Boarders are also able to spend time completing their academic work, supported by members of the House team. Several of our boarders live in the UK and several come from overseas. Wilmot House is a global community which produces global citizens who will thrive in society. Having lived and worked in boarding schools for well over a decade, I believe that boarding provides transformative opportunities. Wilmot House offers a unique boarding experience which truly is home from home and where lifelong friendships will be made. We do hope that you will make a visit or speak to us further.

Dream Fields Sports

Our Mission Building sustainable communities around sport facilities, connecting visionary actors in sport, development, politics and business to community needs and opportunities.Dream Fields was created by former colleagues from international football who wanted to use their experience in sport for the good of communities around the world. In their daily work, Colin, David, Emilia and Stuart had witnessed the power of sport first hand, be it in the incredible stories of women who fought against all odds just to get the chance to play the beautiful game, or in the children kicking a makeshift ball in a slum where the game seemed to wipe off their worries and create the brightest of smiles on their faces. Dream Fields was born out of the hope to spread this joy and grow it into sustainability livelihoods for communities where everyone has the right to play. The Dream Fields concept was born from this search for not merely ‘sport for good’ but ‘sport for sustainable and prosperous communities’. In 2021, co-founder Stuart decided to embark on a journey to better understand the real issues around sport and sustainability. As part of a course with the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership, he presented a general concept of how a sports facility could become the focal point of driving a local economy with a heavy focus on environmental sustainability, ultimately hoping to reach the level of interdependence seen in various symbiosis projects globally. After completing the programme, Stuart shared the concept with former colleagues Colin, David and Emilia. As the concept grew wings, Samy joined the team to bring in his operations and engineering expertise. - Dream Fields was born.
