Rockport School is an independent fee-paying preparatory school with a pre-preparatory department situated on the shore of Belfast Lough in Craigavad, a village in County Down, Northern Ireland between Belfast and Bangor.[1] The school was founded in 1906[2] with four pupils, the first headmaster Geoffrey Bing, an assistant master and a matron. The school now accepts boys and girls from the age of 3 until GCSE at age 16.[3] There is a boarding department. The school now has more than 150 pupils, the school recently celebrated its centenary year by building a new arts center which was opened in 2006 by Lady Hermon.
The school acts as a feeder for schools such as Glenalmond College, Gordonstoun, Fettes, St. Columba's College, Dublin, as well as, but to a lesser extent, grammar schools in Northern Ireland itself and English public schools.[4]
