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.

Mrs Weir had some fantastic visitors from P3 today who absolutely blew her away with their x5 maths facts! Super speedy and super smart numeracy superstars! 🌟
HELP NEEDED ! We had a fantastic morning on the 11th October at our Super Saturday event. Our school is looking great. However, we did not get all the painting we had planned completed. If any budding parent/ grandparent, or family member is at a loose end and would like to help us out before our weather turns, please let the school office or Mrs Hutton know and she can organise a few paintbrushes for you. Many Thanks!
Thematic learning day for P2, using the story of the Gingerbread Man for sequencing, data handling, comprehension, instructional writing, problem solving and Artwork. A brilliant day!
Well done to our fantastic Literacy Stars of the Week 🀩

Today is World Mental Health Day. At Londonderry Primary, we believe in developing the whole child: mind, heart and spirit!

During Early Morning Club, our children drew amazing self-portraits and chatted about all the things that make them special. 🌟 Let’s all take time today to celebrate how unique and wonderful we are! 🌟
