Foyle College is a co-educational non-denominational voluntary grammar school in Derry, Northern Ireland. The school's legal name is Foyle and Londonderry College.[1] In 1976, two local schools, Foyle College and Londonderry High School, merged under the Foyle and Londonderry College Act 1976 (c. xviii) to form Foyle and Londonderry College.[2] In 2011, the Board of Governors re-branded the school as 'Foyle College' and updated the school's crest.[3]
