Over the summer, it’s easy for reading to slip—but the Big Summer Read is a fantastic way to keep your child’s learning going and help them return to school ready to learn! 📚🌞 Taking part couldn’t be easier—simply visit your local library, sign up, and start reading. Children can enjoy exploring new books, building confidence, and developing a lifelong love of reading. It’s a fun, relaxed way to keep skills fresh during the holidays. Sign up soon so you’re all set for a great start to summer reading!

P6 Residential - Day 1 - Part 2 ⭐️
The children found crabs and jellyfish at Portstewart Stand and had a fabulous time making sandcastles, jumping waves and playing beach games! The evening was spent at Alley Cats Soft Play and Ten Pin Bowling! What a fantastic first day!! ❤️💚

Day 1 - P6 Residential Trip - Part 1 ⭐️
P6 children and staff had an amazing residential trip to Coleraine and the North Coast at the end of May. We loved crossing the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, exploring the Giant’s Causeway and finding out about Dunluce Castle. ❤️💚

Ms Farmer's class had a fantastic time visiting the aquarium. The children were excited to explore the different exhibits and learn about a wide variety of sea creatures. It was a fun and educational day, and the class represented the school brilliantly with their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the trip. 🐟❤️💚

We are incredibly proud of Button who represented Northern Ireland against the Republic of Ireland in the SFAI / NIFYA Subway Cup Winners Final and won! She was also awarded the Player of the Match trophy. Button's selection for Northern Ireland followed her club side's success in the Northern Ireland Cup Final. Congratulations Button! ❤️💚

Since February our girls football team have been participating in the first ever MB Consulting Primary School Girls League with league games played every Friday afternoon. The girls only lost once in the league, winning all their other fixtures and reaching the league cup final.
On Thursday past, the girls faced the league winners, Strandtown PS in the cup final. It was a fanastic match with some brilliant football played by both teams but after going behind twice the girls managed to grab the win and become the first ever winners of the MB Consulting PS Girls League Cup!
A fanastic achievement for the girls who have worked hard all year and a proud day for the girls, their parents and our school!
A massive well done to all the girls and coaches! ❤️💚

🌟Star of the Week - Endeavour 🌟
