We invite pupils from the Cookstown area to join us in our beautiful rural school setting with all the activities and after school sessions available to pupils and parents.

After School Activities

Our free After Schools for Primary 1 and 2 continues this term. Our pupils remain in school free of charge from 2.30pm to 3.30pm and complete fun activities.

Our Garden

The school would like to thank Emma Scullion who generously gave up her time and helped the children plant flowers in our pollination garden just in time for Spring. The children really had a wonderful time and a valued experience, and they will maintain our garden with pride.
