Our Ethos

In Antrim PS we aim to ensure a happy, safe and secure environment where mutual respect is nurtured and where each child can develop intellectually and physically to the maximum of his/her potential. We aim to work, in partnership with parents, to deliver high quality teaching and learning and provide pupils with a wide range of experiences and opportunities, both within and beyond the classroom, which will enable them to fully develop their individual talents and abilities. We expect each of our pupils to work hard, behave well and play an active part in school life.

 Antrim PS is a happy, inclusive and child-centred school where all members of our school community are valued and they, along with parents and members of the wider community, have an important contribution to make to the life, work and success of our school.
