The Department of Education sets basic requirements for assessing your child at the end of Key Stage 1 and 2 with reference to the Levels of Progression for Communication (English and/or Irish) and Using Mathematics. However, the government no longer publishes school level performance data. Visit the school’s website for the latest results.

The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment provides headline information for parents including what to look for you in child’s Annual Report. Find more information here.

School Description

Our vision statement is: "A Place in the Sun for Everyone". This means that we endeavour to ensure that all of our children get to make the most of the abilities and talents they have - getting an opportunity to "shine" within our school and local community. Our school has a very solid Christian ethos and remains open to all pupils. Our golden rules are all based on the foundations eminating from the ethos of the school. In Ballyclare Primary we aim to give all our children an education that is best suited to their needs and potential ability. In doing so, we strive to help our pupils experience the joy of success, reach their potential, but also learn persistence to keep trying. Best effort is much celebrated. As a Staff and Governors, we want every child in our care to enjoy their time in Ballyclare Primary and make memories that last a lifetime. We hope you enjoy browsing this website. You'll learn a little about us and we look forward to getting to know you someday too. Should you wish to visit our school, please feel welcome to make contact to join us on our annual Open Morning or make an appointment to call and see us.

OUR LATEST INSPECTION REPORT

We were inspected by the Education and Training Inspectorate in February 2015. Leadership and management was judged to be Outstanding, and our Overall Performance Level, Ahievement and Standards and Provision were all Very Good. 

Here is the introduction to the reprt. You can click on the link below to read the full report. 

The children are friendly, courteous and happy, they respond well to the staff’s high expectations. An effective reward system has a positive impact on the children’s behaviour, their levels of motivation and pride in their work. They work individually, in pairs and in groups, and show increasingly a level of independence and maturity as they progress through the school. Almost all of the children settle quickly to their work and their behaviour is exemplary both in class and as they move around the school; they are respectful towards their peers and the staff and engage very well with visitors to the school.
