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.

Reminder that tomorrow is Christmas Jumper Day. 🎄 Pupils are welcome to come to school in their festive jumpers to help us add a little seasonal cheer to the day. We look forward to seeing everyone’s bright and joyful designs. 🎄
Check Out the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children’s Symptom Checker. We are pleased to share a fantastic online tool that parents and carers can access anytime. The Symptom Checker provides trusted advice to help you make informed decisions about your child’s health. Developed by the Belfast Trust’s Paediatric Emergency and General Paediatric Teams, in consultation with Alder Hey Hospital and the Healthier Together Programme. It is a reliable, easy to use resource you can turn to when you need guidance or support throughout the day or night. 🤒
Our P1 superstars are buzzing with excitement! 🌟 This week they take to the stage for their Nativity, Shine Star Shine! On Thursday, they will perform for the school and our visiting nursery friends. Then on Friday, it is the turn of our mums, dads and grandparents. Get ready for a real festive treat! We can not wait to see them shine! ✨🌟🎄
A massive well done to the team representing our school at the Ards and North Down Sports Hall Athletics event today! Pupils enjoyed participating in relay races and other sports challenges and had a great day out. We also got to try on the Mayor's chain!
Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to join us at our Carol Service this morning. I’m sure you will all agree it was absolutely amazing. The behaviour from every pupil was exemplary, everything ran smoothly and our choirs were simply outstanding. Our readers spoke with such clarity and confidence, a real credit to themselves and our school. The drummers,as always, performed brilliantly getting the Carol Service started. We are incredibly proud of every single pupil. There is nothing better than seeing their bright, smiley faces shining at the front of the Church doing what they enjoy! A super start to Christmas!🌟🎄
P7 have been learning all about Parliament and how laws are made this week as part of UK Parliament Week. Both classes debated ideas for new laws that they would propose if they ran the country. We also had a brilliant visit from Alderman Stephen McIlveen - Newtownards Councillor who explained how local councils and elections worked. Thanks Mr McIlveen!
What a fantastic turnout for our festive Eco Super Saturday! We were so well supported and we truly appreciate everyone who came along to champion our Eco Schools Project. From meeting Santa and enjoying a Christmas singalong, to listening to a festive story and decorating cookies, it was wonderful to see so many families getting involved. A huge thank you to all the staff who generously gave up their time on a Saturday; especially during such a busy time of year. We really do have the best team, always willing to go the extra mile. Thanks also to Campbell from Tesco for providing some of the lovely festive treats. An extra-special thank you goes to Santa, who had an incredibly busy day between our open morning and our Eco afternoon! 🎅🏻 We hope everyone had a fantastic time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🎄✨
What a fantastic turnout for our Open Morning! Thank you for considering Londonderry Primary as the place to begin your child’s educational journey. We hope our vision of educating, encouraging and caring shone through during your visit. Thank you for joining us for our first Christmas themed event of the season and we hope it will be the first of many we share together. We look forward to welcoming you back on Monday evening, where you will have the chance to hear our choir perform, chat to staff from across the school and listen to firsthand experiences from our wonderful pupils. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🎄✨🎅🏻
