Welcome

I would like to welcome you to our website which will hopefully give you a flavour of the school as well as providing regularly updated information. 

Ballycarry Primary  is a rural community school in a beautiful setting.  We aim to provide a caring ethos where pupils feel happy and valued. We are proud of our very high standards of pastoral care and teaching within the school. Our transfer results are excellent and we frequently enjoy hearing about the successes of past pupils. The confidence that Ballycarry primary School instills in our pupils, sets them up for their next steps.

We are an inclusive school and have excellent facilities for disability access, with staff highly experienced in supporting children with additional needs.

Our expansive and wooded outdoor areas provide wonderful opportunities for outdoor learning and Forest School lessons. We have two fully trained Forest School staff.

We provide a range of sporting and musical activities both during and after school. Most recently we have added a gardening club to our afterschool activities.

To assist busy parents we provide a breakfast club from 8:00am and an early drop-off facility at 8:30 am. We also provide an After-schools Club for pupils in P1-P3 from 2-4pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our website and if you have any questions or wish to experience our friendly school in person please feel free to contact us to arrange a visit.  

Mrs G Trueick

Principal
