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.

The P2 children had a fantastic trip to Ark Farm and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the animals. They were enthusiastic, engaged, and took part in all activities with great interest. Their behaviour was excellent throughout the day and they represented the school wonderfully.🐷🐄🐔🐴

📢 Reminder for everyone before the long weekend. School will be closed on Monday for the Bank Holiday and also closed for pupils on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th. We hope everyone enjoys a well-earned break and maybe even a little sunshine! Time to dust off the BBQs, and inflate the paddling pools! Here’s hoping the weather forecast behaves itself! ☀️🍔💦 Meanwhile, our very own “Super Saturday” is happening tomorrow, 10am-1pm. Mrs Hutton has organised a day of planting, painting, DIY and general maintenance to help get the school grounds looking their best for the Summer Fair and the summer term ahead. 🌼🎨🪴

⭐️🌟 Stars of the Week 🌟⭐️ This week our classroom mathematicians have been BUSY! From identifying coins and counting forwards and backwards, to solving number stories, calculating percentages and even tackling coordinates like mini sat navs… we are very impressed! 🌟 Special mention for those giving 100% even when things were a bit tricky. Fantastic effort, brilliant attitudes and lots of perseverance shown all week. Keep it up superstars! ⭐️

👑Royal excitement for our P7s today! 👑 On their way back from Shnuggle, the children saw the King and Queen… and of course received the all-important royal wave! 🇬🇧👋🏻 A day fit for royalty for our fantastic P7s.

P7 were invited to visit Shnuggle - Clever Baby Products today to see how a real business works. We were able to see how the Young Enterprise roles work in real business and had a mini raft building competition. A massive thanks to everyone in the Shnuggle office and warehouse for giving up your time for such a brilliant morning!

A huge thank you to the staff who gave up time away from their own families to accompany our P6 and P7 residential trips. These experiences and memories simply would not be possible without their commitment, care and energy. Mrs Lowry led the Dublin trip alongside Mr Robinson, Mr Barr and Miss Bell. Mrs Bingham led the P6 Ganaway trip alongside Mr Adams, Miss Bell and Mrs Watters. We are so proud of all our children, who were fantastic ambassadors for Londonderry Primary beyond the school gates. Their manners, behaviour and positivity were commented on throughout both trips. 🌟 Memories made, friendships strengthened, and staff now probably needing a very large coffee and a good nights sleep.
