Saint Patrick's Grammar School was a Catholic grammar school located in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland. It was owned by the De La Salle Brothers. It had an enrolment of around 725 students, with girls admitted at 6th form level. Pupils came from all over the East Down area. Working to support the ideals of this Lasallian School was a staff of 75 lay teachers. In 2007, the school was awarded the Investor in People award, and has been named a specialist school in humanities by the Department of Education.

Background
History
Saint Patrick's Grammar School was founded in 1934 and moved to its present site in 1937. In 2009, the school celebrated its 75th anniversary. A new school building was built and opened in April 2011. The new building contains improved modern facilities including a large music department and enhanced Physical Education amenities. The PE department includes a modern gym, two indoor sports halls and two floodlit outdoor pitches. A controversial merger was proposed between St Patrick's and non-selective schools St Mary's High and De La Salle. The resulting institution would be named Lecale Trinity Grammar and open in September 2024.
