Londonderry Primary School, Newtownards

Welcome

At Londonderry Primary School we believe in educating every child, encouraging their unique potential and caring for their wellbeing - preparing them for a bright and successful future. We have a proud and rich tradition of academic excellence, strong pastoral support and an extensive range of extracurricular provision and after school clubs. Our school ethos is “Educating, Encouraging, Caring” and we pride ourselves on the supportive, family atmosphere we have created.

We provide a safe, caring environment and endeavour to instill a love of learning whilst striving to create lifelong learners. Every child will be able to look back on how they have participated in the life of the school and how they made a valuable and valued positive contribution.

For us, positive relationships and excellent communication are of paramount importance as we work closely together with parents and our community towards shared goals. We therefore hope you enjoy looking around our website and if you need any more information please do not hesitate to get in touch. Together we will shape the future with learning, kindness and care.

Our Primary 1 pupils had a very special visit from Nurse Clare today. She reminded us how important it is to wear a helmet when riding our bikes and scooters; protecting our heads keeps us safe and ready for more adventures! We also learned how to use a thermometer and had a chance to listen to heartbeats with a stethoscope. The children even got to experience what it feels like to have their arm in a sling; a great way to build understanding and empathy. Lots of future doctors and nurses in the making! 👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️Thank you, Nurse Clare 🤗

Lovely to see such fantastic work happening across the school today! Mrs Weir had some special visitors in to see our pupils in action; and what a wonderful job they did! From super independent writing about their pets to focused numeracy work on perimeter. Always a proud moment when pupils gather around the Principal to share their learning and speak so confidently about their work. 🌟🌟🌟
