We were thrilled to celebrate a very special moment with one of our own this week. Mr Mitchell, a valued teacher here at Waringstown Primary School was part of the team that won the prestigious Irish Cup Final!
In true Waringstown spirit, Mr Mitchell brought the trophy into school to share his incredible achievement with all our pupils. The children (and staff) were overjoyed to see and even hold the famous cup. The excitement in the hall was electric as Mr Mitchell talked about the big match and what it took to become a champion.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to see that hard work, teamwork and dedication lead to great things and to celebrate a real-life role model right in their own school.
Mr Mitchell we are so proud of you!

At Waringstown Primary School, we believe in celebrating every child’s achievements, both inside and outside the classroom. One of the highlights of our week is our Friday Assembly where we proudly recognise the incredible talents and dedication of our pupils in a very special way.
Each week, our prize winners are invited to bring in the trophies, medals, certificates and awards they have earned through their youth organisations, sports teams and hobbies outside of school. Whether it’s football, gymnastics, dance, Scouts, martial arts, swimming, music or any other pursuit, we take great pride in showcasing the wide range of talents our children are developing beyond the school gates.
We are incredibly proud of every pupil who brings their awards in and contributes to this positive, supportive culture of achievement. Their dedication, hard work and passion are a credit to them, their families and our school.
Congratulations to all of our prize winners – keep up the fantastic work!

At noon, we paused to remember the significance of today just as countless people around the world did.
As the children were reminded; we stood for peace in our two-minute silence.
Perhaps tonight children will be able to talk about the significance of today as we mark Victory in Europe 80 years on.

Huge congratulations to Mr McKee (Classroom Assistant) who ran the Belfast Marathon over the weekend to conclude our fundraising for the 2025 i-Challenge.
Youth was certainly on his side in the heat and by the look of him he may have caught the marathon bug!
We know you’ve been extremely generous already; however, should you wish to donate to Mr McKee’s run all proceeds will go to the i-Challenge grand total.
The Eduspot has a variable payment set up if you wish to donate.
Thank you and WELL DONE MR MCKEE! We’d give you a medal although we can see we’re too late!

At Waringstown Primary School, keeping children safe both in the real world and the online world is our number one priority. The internet is a fantastic place for learning, playing and staying in touch with friends but it is important that everyone knows how to use it safely.
Here are some key messages for children and parents to remember:
KNOW THE AGE LIMITS:
Many popular apps and websites have age restrictions to help keep younger children safe.
Here is a quick guide:
WHY AGE LIMITS?
These age limits are not just suggestions. They are there to protect children from seeing things that are not suitable, chatting with strangers and sharing personal information too early.
PARENTS: HOW CAN YOU HELP?
* Know which apps your child uses and keep an open conversation about what your child is doing online.
* Talk regularly about internet safety and set clear rules about internet use at home.
* Set age appropriate boundaries and use parental controls.
* Encourage your child to come to you with any worries.
This poster is very useful in creating discussions around online safety with your child and provides further information for you and your child on how to stay safe.
TRANSITIONING:
Transitioning to secondary education brings new online opportunities and challenges, making it crucial to equip children with strong safety habits. Please discuss this with your child.
Let us work together to keep everyone safe and happy online!
