Limavady Grammar School is a co-educational 11-18 selective grammar school in Limavady, County Londonderry in Northern Ireland. Situated on the Ballyquin Road, it is close to other schools in the town, including Limavady High School and St. Mary's High School. In 2008, the school was placed 139th in The Times school league table for the UK,[1] which is based on both GCSE and A-level results.

The school is non-denominational and features a broad mix of pupils from different communities in the County Londonderry area, and currently enrolls 910 pupils.[2] The admission policy of the school is based on academic selection and Year 8 students are admitted in order of score in the AQE common entrance assessment.

Limavady Grammar School follows a common curriculum,[3] with options added at GCSE and A-level. Due to the foundation of the Limavady Post-Primary Learning Partnership in 2002,[4] A-level students can study certain subjects outside of school on link courses, with the other secondary schools in Limavady and the North West Regional College.[5]

The mission statement is "Learning, Caring, Preparing for Life". [6]
