The Abbey Christian Brothers' Grammar School is a voluntary day school for boys aged 11 – 18 years in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland. A new £18 million site opened on the outskirts of Newry in 2010, moving the school from Courtenay Hill where it had been based since 1966. The school gives its name to many streets surrounding the former site such as Abbey Yard and Abbey Heights. During its history, the school had been located at several sites around Newry, including Chapel Street, Kilmorey Street, the Carstands at Margaret Street and the Mall, then on to Abbey Yard and Courtenay Hill.
The school year commences with individual year admissions and registrations during the last week in August. Details of first term, second term, mid-term, Christmas and Easter holidays are forwarded to all parents in an Annual Parents' Booklet.
The school uniform consists of a black blazer, black trousers and school tie. White shirts are worn by all students, a grey v-necked jumper is optional. Students above Year 12 wear a black sweatshirt in place of the blazer and jumper.
The curriculum in the Abbey is based on the UK National Curriculum. The school academia is divided into three sections: Key Stage 3 is followed in junior school where pupils are unstreamed and follow a curriculum which includes Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, French, Spanish, Irish, Art, Music, Information Technology, Technology & Design, Physical Education, Drama, Learning for Life and Work (LLW) and Banter. Pupils are expected to take a variety of these subjects.
