The blog will give you a sample of life in our school. All our staff, pupils and parents strive to make our school a happy place where learning is the central focus.
With a current enrolment of 117 children, the school prides itself on the quality of its pastoral care, its academic success, its strong sporting ethos, the quality of relations at all levels and its links with parents, the parish and the community. Children benefit from a wealth of experiences ranging from academic and sporting to pastoral with emphasis on positive relationships and inclusion.

Play Scripts

Primary4/5 children were very busy recently writing and performing plays. The playscripts were excellent and we had some quality acting to match!

Question Time

The Primary 1 children were recently investigating people who help us. Part of their work involved them interviewing Mr McCreesh and asking him lots of very hard questions!
