SCHOOL ETHOS
Pastoral Care
Cygnet House combines a high academic standard with a sound pastoral system, a good breadth of extracurricular activity and involvement with the wider community.
We pride ourselves on being a "family orientated" school. Class teachers make a major contribution to the personal and social development of the girls, providing support and guidance at all times. The older girls, particularly the P7 class, help the younger pupils to gain confidence and independence.
Parents are kept fully informed of school events, holiday dates and changes in the timetable of the school day. Notices are given to pupils and information is also posted on the notice board. 
Religious Education
Choir Music
All classes in Religious Studies are taught from a non-denominational perspective. Parents have the right to withdraw their daughters from classes in Religious Studies and the short collective worship section of morning assembly on the grounds of conscience.
Classes from P2-P7 are taken by a specialist teacher. All pupils participate in the Infant and Junior choirs. Performances are given in school and on public occasions.
Transfer results are always excellent and this year all our P7 girls obtained grammar school places. The Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Assessments are also well above the Northern Ireland average.
