We provide comprehensive primary education for children aged 4-11, following the Northern Ireland curriculum. Our approach combines academic instruction with character development through structured learning experiences. The school maintains small class sizes to ensure individual attention and support for every pupil.
Forest Schools
Our Forest Schools program offers hands-on outdoor education that complements classroom learning. Pupils engage in nature-based activities that develop practical skills, teamwork, and environmental awareness. This initiative supports holistic development through experiential learning in natural settings.

The 'Behaviour Basics' curriculum focuses on developing positive character traits in pupils. We teach values like respect, responsibility, and empathy through daily practice and reinforcement.
