Enniskillen Royal Grammar has been operating on split sites following the amalgamation of Portora Royal and Collegiate Grammar Schools. 

The school now works as one body but has two campuses at Cooper Crescent and Lough Shore. Both are on opposite sides of Enniskillen. 

This has become a problem for teachers as some have to travel between sites; with one teacher making the journey four times in one day. 

Preparation time, lunch breaks and teaching time prove difficult due to time being lost and getting cover for teachers who arrive late or leave early, from having to drive to the other site.

Not all of the students were moved from the campus they initially began in.

This is to cause as little disruptions as possible for the students, especially Years 13 and 14.
