Mill Strand Integrated Primary School and Nursery Mill Strand Integrated Primary School & Nursery - "we are stronger together, even when forced apart."

Our school has recently been recognised for outstanding teaching by the ETI and as a school we strive through an on-going programme of self-evaluation to further raise standards in all aspects of school life. With so much to offer, from high standards in Learning & Teaching to an exceptional reputation for catering for the needs of all pupils, an extensive extra-curricular programme, exciting scho

ol residential opportunities, award winning science & historical projects, performance opportunities through our widely recognised choir & drama group and a vibrant and supportive Parents' Council the school has redeveloped this web site to try and share some of the wonderful opportunities and achievements of the school. we believe our pupils are our best ambassadors and that it is best to come and see the school as it really is, rather than try to create a false impression. Please contact the school at ANY time to arrange to see us in operation during a real school day. We believe that our pupils are the school and as such are our best ambassadors to show prospective parents all the school has to offer.

Back to work!
Our teaching staff enjoyed a cuppa and a catch-up at one of our lovely local coffee spots in Portrush before embarking on our first day back training.

It was lovely to see everyone relaxed, smiling and ready to start another busy year together.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming pupils back to school on Wednesday 26th August! 🎒

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

⭐️Staff Farewells⭐️

The end of term always brings a sense of sadness as we say ‘Farewell’ to members of our staff.

We send you away with our best wishes as you leave us. You will be greatly missed but we trust you will remember your time at Mill Strand with great fondness!

At our final Assembly of the year our pupils received Mathletics and AR certificates and Principal Awards for showing their understanding of our school values. We have been focusing on balance and integration. It was apt that Ms Dunlop presented these awards. We are so proud of our pupils. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
