Welcome to Inchmarlo,

It is a great privilege to welcome you to Inchmarlo, the preparatory department of the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. As Head Teacher, I am proud to lead a school where every boy is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish in a vibrant and supportive environment.

At Inchmarlo, we believe that education is a journey—one that begins with curiosity and joy in early childhood and continues with confidence and purpose into senior school and beyond. Our close connection with RBAI ensures a seamless transition, allowing each boy to grow academically, socially, and personally from Pre-Prep through to Sixth Form.

Our school is built on the values of Excellence, Respect, and Participation. These principles are woven into every aspect of school life, from the classroom to the sports field, the music room to the playground. We are committed to providing a rich and balanced education that challenges and inspires, while nurturing the individual talents and interests of every pupil.

Inchmarlo is more than just a school, it is a place where boys are encouraged to be themselves, to support one another, and to take pride in their achievements. We are proud of our strong family ethos, our tradition of academic excellence, and the breadth of opportunities we offer in sport, music, the arts, and beyond.
I warmly invite you to visit us and experience for yourself the energy, warmth, and ambition that define Inchmarlo. We look forward to welcoming you and your son into our school family.
