As the Principal of Cookstown Primary School I extend to you a very warm welcome to our website. There is a magic about our school: we feel like a small country school in terms of the pastoral care, atmosphere and community values but we are a large school who can also offer children a wide and dynamic range of opportunities and experiences, the best of both worlds!
Staff who work here tend not to leave which speaks volumes about the quality of the school staff and our ethos as a whole. We have an excellent mix of talented staff ranging from experienced teachers to new ones, which brings a vibrancy to the school which you feel as soon as you step foot in it.
It is our aim for every child to have special and happy memories of their time with us in Cookstown Primary School, giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to reach their full potential.
We have a strong Christian ethos and as a controlled school in Northern Ireland we welcome all faiths and backgrounds. Everyone is welcome which is demonstrated in our diverse school population where everyone is celebrated equally.
As the principal I want a fun, firm and fair school where children are engaged in their learning through a variety of learning experiences both in and out of class, where good behaviour is clearly understood and where there is fairness for all.
If you would like to see our school and what we have to offer I would be delighted to speak with you.
Have a look at the short video, which will give you a flavour of what we're about.
