Bangor Grammar School
It was founded in 1856 by the Conservative politician Robert Ward[2] and is one of eight Northern Irish schools represented on the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.Ward bequeathed £1,000 to be "…expended in building and endowing a School-house for the education of boys in Mathematics, Astronomy and Navigation…", in his family home town and parliamentary constituency.[3] Two commemorative plaques are erected in the school assembly hall listing the names off all ex-pupils that died whilst serving in the British Armed Forces during both World Wars.Bangor Grammar has won the rugby Ulster Schools Cup on five occasions and has appeared in nine finals.The two schools regularly participate in joint activities, most notably the Combined Cadet Force, which meets in an MoD-funded, purpose-built site on Bangor Grammar's campus; the two Scripture Union Societies which hold joint meetings and activities; and the two drama departments, which collaborate on student productions.
