Our P6 and 7 children enjoy a wonderful week of activities in either Shannaghmore Outdoor Education Centre in Newcastle Co. Down or in Gortatole Outdoor Education Centre in Co. Fermanagh. For many this residential trip is their first time staying away from home. Everyone has a great time, enjoying the wonderful opportunities and guaranteeing it is a week they'll never forget as wonderful memories are made with their friends.

As we’ll as educational trips, we also have a Christmas trip to the Pantomime in Millennium Forum for Key Stage 1 and The Grand Opera House for Key Stage 2 while the Foundation Stage children enjoy a trip to the cinema. We also have a end of year fun trip. 

 

Many other Educational Trips take place throughout the year in the various classes. These trips are linked to topic work and enhance learning in World Around Us.
