School Ethos, Vision & Mission Statement
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.
