My eldest started P1 in September and he is having so much fun with his new friends. The teachers, assistants, principal and parents all work together fantastically to give all the children such a wonderful educational experience. My little boy has came on leaps and bounds since starting P1. The school has a strong sense of community and has a supportive integrated education for everyone. A perfect small country community style school 😊

Great family orientated school, staff are all lovely and very approachable, because of the size of the school I feel that each child can become known to all staff and teachers individually, we are very happy with our p1 choice for our eldest son 👍
