  ⚽️Football Friendlies at Killyleagh ⚽️

  Our football team had a fantastic afternoon playing some friendly matches against other local schools. They displayed superb sportsmanship and skill throughout their matches as they worked together - passing, moving, dribbling and scoring lots of goals - to win 3 out of their 4 games. 

  Thanks to Mr McFerran for organising the matches, to Pamela for helping with transport and to Philip and Becky for their support from the sidelines!

• Celebrating our Coding and Computational Thinking Efforts

  Fri 19 Jun 2026

  A few weeks ago, Mrs English and Mr Milligan visited the SSE Arena to join other schools taking part in the Create Partnership Programme. Mrs English proudly showcased the fantastic work our Glasswater classes have been doing, presenting it to fellow partnership schools, the team from Nerve Centre, political representatives and Northern Ireland Screen.

  We were delighted to receive a certificate recognising our achievements in coding and computational thinking. An incredible celebration of our pupils’ creativity and hard work.
