✅ Weekly Review – Week Beginning 6th January
10th Jan 2026
Despite a disruptive start to Term 2 with the weather, it was fantastic to welcome our children back on Wednesday and hear all about their exciting Christmas break!
🎨 After-School Clubs
Our new block of clubs kicked off on Wednesday with lots of fresh activities on offer this half term. It was brilliant to see every club full of enthusiastic pupils learning new skills and having the best time. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff and coaches for making this possible!
🙏 Assembly with Reverend Lecky
On Thursday, we were delighted to welcome Reverend Lecky into school for assembly. It was a lovely way to start the new year, focusing on positivity and kindness.
🌟 Future Visions Programme
Primary 6 had a visit from the Future Visions team this week. They’ll be working on this exciting programme alongside St Mary’s Primary School throughout January – we can’t wait to see the amazing ideas that come from this collaboration!
🎓 Primary 7 Transition Talk
Also on Thursday, Miss Evans and two Year 14 pupils visited to speak with our Primary 7 children about their upcoming Open Morning on Saturday 17th January. Thank you for giving our pupils such a warm welcome and helpful advice!
🏊 Swimming Lessons Begin
On Friday, Primary 6 pupils headed to Cookstown Leisure Centre for their first swimming lesson of the term – a great start to an important life skill!
