At Holy Trinity Primary School we pride ourselves on providing a safe, happy and stimulating environment from Nursery level through to Primary 7. We strive to help our children grow in confidence and work purposefully to a realistically high standard, developing and achieving to the best of their individual abilities.
Here at Holy Trinity Primary School we enjoy a strong partnership between home and school, the Church and the local community. We are proud of our good name, our high standards and the excellent pastoral care that exists within the school.
We were delighted to be invited to attend the Mid Ulster Arts, Culture and Community Awards at the Burnavon Theatre last night, having been shortlisted as one of four finalists in the 'Equality & Good Relations Award' category.
It was a fantastic evening celebrating the incredible work taking place across our community. While we didn’t take home the award, we are immensely proud to have been recognised for our work as a 'School of Sanctuary' and shortlisted among other such inspiring organisations.
We are delighted to share that Holy Trinity Primary School has been re-awarded the prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag (June 2026). This achievement reflects the strong commitment across our school community to promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility.
A special word of thanks must go to Miss McCann, who led this project with passion and enthusiasm, and to our dedicated pupil Eco Councillors, whose leadership, ideas and energy were central to this success. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our staff, caretaker and parents who supported the school in achieving its environmental targets.
The assessors highlighted many strengths, including the active involvement of pupils across all year groups, a thorough and regularly updated environmental review, and a purposeful, pupil-driven action plan. They commended the range of impactful initiatives, including recycling projects, environmental awareness activities and the restoration of our eco-garden into a valuable outdoor learning space for all.
They also recognised the clear impact of the programme across the curriculum, the effective use of data to monitor progress and the strong emphasis on pupil voice, with the Eco Council playing a key role in informing and involving the wider school community. The pupil-created Eco-Code, displayed prominently throughout the school, was also praised.
We are incredibly proud to hold the Green Flag for the next two years and look forward to continuing our Eco journey as we work towards our next application in 2028. This award reflects our shared commitment to caring for our environment and empowering our pupils as responsible global citizens.
The next parent workshop in our series is
‘Supporting Literacy and Numeracy at Home’
It is for our Primary 4-7 parents and takes place on Thursday 21st May at 3.15pm in the red-floored hall.
It outlines way in which learning in literacy and numeracy can be supported at home and help our pupils develop skills, routines and study habits that they can carry through KS1, KS2 into post-primary too.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Today Miss McCann’s class took part in a special assembly thanking God for the Sun. ☀️😎
All of the children performed excellently and created beautiful pieces of artwork for their families to admire. 🎨🖌️
We are so proud of all the girls and boys. Well done to everyone! ⭐
Primary 6 have had a very busy and exciting term so far! 🌟
We recently finished our Energy topic, where we took part in some fantastic STEM learning. Working alongside the Drumlin Project, the children designed and made their own wind turbines 🌬️ as well as creating electrical circuits ⚡ as part of our investigations into energy.
We’ve also started our new class novel, Charlotte’s Web 📚 and have been enjoying lots of active and outdoor learning in Numeracy now that the weather has improved ☀️
Our new topic, Going for Gold, has introduced us to the Ancient Greek Olympics 🏛️ and the children are already fully engaged and enthusiastic.
Alongside all of this, we are now busy preparing for our school show 🎭 Several P6 pupils are part of the main cast, while everyone else is enthusiastically learning songs and dances. We can’t wait to share it with you al
Mrs Devlin’s nursery class travelled by bus to Parkanaur where they met their friends from Cookstown Nursery. The children from both schools followed the Gruffalo Trail and found him sleeping in the forest! Along the way the children collected leaves, flowers, pine cones and twigs for their nature hunt.
Primary 5 World War II Topic
Primary 5 have really enjoyed exploring their World War II topic this term. The children have been learning about the key events of the war and, in particular, what life was like for children during this difficult period in history.
As part of their learning, the pupils created timelines to help them understand the order of important wartime events. They also designed and built their own Anderson shelters, showing great creativity and problem-solving skills.
The classes spent time thinking about the experiences of evacuees and children living through the Blitz. This inspired some excellent writing, including poems, letters and postcards home, where the children imagined what it would have felt like to leave their families behind.
There was also plenty of hands-on learning throughout the topic. The pupils explored wartime codes and ciphers, including Pigpen and Caesar ciphers, and used their code-breaking skills during a World War II scavenger hunt. They created striking pieces of artwork, including gas mask designs and dramatic Blitz scenes.
