Bandon Grammar School (Scoil Ghrammadaí Dhroichead na Bandan) is a Church of Ireland secondary school situated in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland. Established in 1642, it is one of the oldest schools in Ireland.
Bandon Grammar School is a co-educational, boarding and day school founded in 1642, with an historic association with the Church of Ireland. It is managed by a local Board of Directors under the auspices of The Incorporated Society as patron and held from that body under a Lease "as a secondary school recognised as such by the Minister for Education under the rules of the Department of Education for secondary schools, primarily for Protestant pupils". [1]
Bandon Grammar School was founded in 1642 by Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork.
With a team that included future Ireland men's field hockey internationals, David and Conor Harte, Bandon Grammar School won the 2005 All Ireland Schoolboys Hockey Championship. [2] [3] [4]
Bandon Grammar School competes in the Munster Schools 'A' competitions. Notable past players include Darren Sweetnam, [5] James French, [6] Gavin Coombes [7] and Jack Crowley.
