Carryduff Primary School

Carryduff Primary School is looking for a dedicated and reliable School Cleaner to join our friendly team.

Our cleaners play a vital role in creating a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment where our children can learn, grow and thrive every day. If you take pride in your work, enjoy being part of a supportive community and would like to make a real difference behind the scenes, we would love to hear from you.

Please see the details below for information on how to apply.

We would be grateful if you could share this post with anyone who may be interested.

The time for goodbyes to some long-standing members of staff 🥲

Mrs Diane Martelli is retiring from her role as Learning Support Teacher after working in the school for over 20 years. She has supported generations of pupils in both literacy and numeracy over that time, making a lasting difference to so many.

Yvonne Maginnes is hanging up her apron after working in our school kitchen for 23 years. She has been a friendly, smiling presence for both staff and pupils in our canteen. She will look forward to enjoying time with her grandson and relaxing at their holiday home in Turkey.

After seven years of driving up and down the road from Annalong, Mrs Cherith Bennett has secured a teaching post much closer to home. Our loss is their gain!

We are incredibly grateful for the contribution they have all made to our school and we wish them all every happiness and fulfilment in the next phase of their lives.

We said goodbye to an incredible bunch of P7s yesterday. All year, they have embodied our school values; hard-working, great buddies to the younger pupils, tight friendships, kind, keen to get stuck in to anything and everything. We are going to miss you, but the world is your lobster - go get it and shake it 💪💪💪.

Yesterday, our P1 and P2 enjoyed a very warm visit to Streamvale Farm, where they got up close and personal with a range of furry and feathered creatures. The cute chicks and gigantic bull were among some of the favourites 🐥🐂.

Wowsers, Carryduff Primary School certainly showcased its talent this afternoon 🕺💃🎤🎶🥁🪄🎹🎻.

Well done to all the brave P5-P7s who auditioned and performed. You were brilliant, we loved watching you ✨.

P7 pupils were treated to a lovely Leavers' Lunch today, thanks to our wonderful kitchen team. Tasty food, a playlist of their choice, photo opportunities - start of the goodbyes for an amazing class.

Just a reminder that we are no longer operating out of the Killynure Hub. At the moment, we still can't offer a drop in service, but if anyone is in need please email [email protected] and we will contact you to arrange a delivery. Please include how many people are in the household and a contact number if possible.

We welcomed a lovely group of Yr11 students from Saintfield High School today, and introduced them to what a career in primary school might be like. Then....we unleashed our P2s upon them! Hope we didn't put them off pursuing the bestest job in the world, ever 🤣.

Look how much fun SCU1 had at the farm this week! And those puppies 🐶♥️♥️♥️.
