A Message from the Principal:
Mr. M. Hall, B.Ed, M.Ed; D.A.S.E; P.G. Dip. Ed; PQH (NI)
"Building on the past, learning for the present, preparing for the future"
Welcome to Richmount Primary School’s website.
This website has been designed to provide you with useful information and give you some insight into the educational opportunities available in this school
I hope the information will be of benefit and interest. We believe that our pupils are our greatest assets and together form our most convincing advertisement.
We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum with due emphasis given to academic achievement, basic skills, the opportunity for physical development and a social and moral environment which encourages the principles of honesty and integrity, self confidence and a consideration of others.
A close partnership between home and school is highly valued and is fostered in numerous ways throughout the school year.
Please feel free to contact the school with any queries you may have.
Yours sincerely
Mr. M. Hall
Principal
Dear Parent,
At Richmount PS we believe that education is a partnership between all stakeholders i.e. parents, governors, staff, community; with the one central goal and that is to provide each individual child with the opportunity to achieve to the best of their ability. It is essential that every partner has the opportunity to have a say on how the school proceeds and to that end we are consulting with everyone through various formats to bring together a school development plan which will guide the work in Richmount in the years to come. We would ask that you would complete the following questionnaire and return by Friday 22nd June in a sealed envelope. Please do not write any names on the questionnaire as your opinions should be anonymous. Thank you for your support in this matter. We would stress the closing date for return, questionnaires cannot be considered after 22nd June as analysis will have already commenced. When all data is received and analysed a report will be presented to the Board of Governors and utilised to implement the School Development Plan for the next 3 years.
Thank you once again.
Yours sincerely,
M. Hall (Principal)
P7 VISIT THE NATIONAL STADIUM WINDSOR PARK
P7 pupils visited the home of the GREEN AND WHITE ARMY, the National Stadium Windsor Park on Monday 11th June 2018. This trip formed part of their Term 3 WAU topic on the Football World Cup. The pupils were involved in an excellent workshop entitled, Give Racism The Boot. This workshop looked at stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination in society. The pupils then viewed the Northern Ireland Football exhibition and then concluded their visit with a stadium tour. The stadium tour took in the changing rooms, training gym, press room, hospitality suite and of course a pitch side view from the substitutes’ seats. After the visit everyone enjoyed their lunch at McDonald’s.
