• Sping walk

  Fri 13 Mar 2026

  We were very fortunate to have one of the best days weather wise on Wednesday as we headed into Rosemount Estate for our spring walk. With Mrs. Montgomery hosting, and leading the way, we set off to find the swans on the lake. After this, we spent some time playing on the massive lawn and exploring the hedge garden. A super, mucky morning spent in the outdoors.

  

• Titanic Workshop

  Tue 10 Mar 2026

  On Monday, P7 travelled to Ballywalter Primary School to join their P7s for a special Titanic themed workshop. The guest speaker, Ivan McClean, brought along a model of the Titanic and spoke to pupils about key events surrounding the Titanic and decisions made by those in charge of the ship that contributed to the disaster.
  
  Both groups thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the quiz at the end, as well as playing with the outdoor equipment in Ballywalter Primary School’s playground. The session was a great way to start our new class topic on the Titanic (which we will begin after Easter).

  

• World Book Day 2026

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

  We had a lovely day celebrating all things books, from dressing up to art competitions, online quizzes to scarecrow hunting and even had time to hear some stories read to us. Thank you to everyone for getting into the spirit of it with the costumes, some great designs and original ideas. Well done everyone!

  

• Tesco Support for DOZE Club

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

   

  We were delighted to welcome Campbell Keatings, the Community Champion from Tesco, to school during the week. He made a presentation to school of £1000 to support DOZE club. We are thankful for their support in helping us keep DOZE club well stocked with breakfast foods.

  

• A Busy Week of Outdoor Learning

  Fri 20 Feb 2026

  Over the course of the this week a number of our classes took part in outdoor learning. P1/2 enjoyed the dry weather to make the most of their outdoor play; P3/4 explored Greyabbey as part of their historical walk with Joseph Long and P5/6 travelled to Mount Stewart to take part in the Starling Project. Thankfully the weather managed to stay dry for these activities and all pupils had a great time.

  

• PTA Fundraising Update

  Fri 23 Jan 2026

  Thanks to the tireless effort of the PTA, and the generosity of all of you and the local community, we have now raised enough money to cover the cost of our new stage. A fabulous achievement!  

   

  Over the rest of this year, any money raised will go towards refreshing and adding to our existing bank laptops which our children use regularly. 

   

  Please keep an eye out for some upcoming PTA events. 

   

  We are also very thankful to the Grey Abbey Community Association, who have made a contribution of £2500 to go towards replacing the carpet in one of our classrooms. We very much appreciate all the help and support

  

• P7 Taster Day @ Glastry College

  Fri 09 Jan 2026

  P7 attended Glastry College today to experience what life is like for a pupil at a post-primary school. They all had a great day, getting to experience subjects like ICT, Art, Science, Technology, PE an HE. They really got a sense of what it is like moving from one class to another and having different teachers for different subjects. 

   

  A massive thank you to Glastry for organising this.

  

• Yes Day in P3/4

  Thu 08 Jan 2026

  As a reward for all their positive behaviour and filling their class ‘star jar’, P3/4 had a ‘yes day’ as a reward. They got to come in in their normal cloths, and spend the day being creative, doing and making things. A great time was had by all!  

  

• Christmas Fair

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  We had great fun at our Christmas Fair this year. It was lovely to see the school busy and filled with children, parents and families. It was fair to say everyone had a great time and there was plenty to do and explore, from Wee Bugs and Beasties, to visiting Santa, to browsing the stalls, to taking part in the games organised by the Scouts and finally to enjoying a hot day, coffee or hot chocolate (thanks to Dutchie for this). A massive 'Thank You' to our wonderful PTA and school who organised, setup and ran the fair, and to the Grey Abbey Community Association and the local businesses who supported us. We raised a fantastic £1637!! Well done everyone.

  

• Wreath Making

  Fri 28 Nov 2025

  We had a lovely evening of good company, craic and creativity with our wreath-making workshop. We are fortunate to have an active PTA to organise these types of events for us, and a member of staff who is 'green-fingered'. Our thanks go to Mrs. Burns who spent time preparing and leading our wreath-making. The end results all look amazing.
