Open Night

This year we will hold our open night on Thursday 27th November 2025 from 6pm to 8pm. This night is designed to help parents whose children will be nursery or/and Primary 1 age in September 2026. We welcome parents to come along with their children to have a look around.
We do not make presentations or give big speeches. Our approach is to allow families to simply take in the school's atmosphere, view the classrooms, see the standard of pupils' work and get to talk to staff in small groups. We also provide senior members of staff who can answer parents' questions about the application process. We think this approach reflects our very friendly family ethos.
The deadline for applications is usually in the second week of January. The Education Authority will publish their deadline in November preceding the deadline on the application forms.
A number of pieces of valuable advice for the application process are as follows:
- Make sure you read the criteria of the school very carefully before submitting your application;
- The school is only able to use the information on the form. Even if we know facts, such as an older sibling is in the school, we are unable to use it unless you have written it on the form;
- Get your application in on time!
- If you need support with your application, please contact the school office and we will help you.
