Principal's Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Camphill Primary School.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. I invite you to take a look and gain a snapshot of what happens in our busy and vibrant school. The website provides information about the school itself, current activities, key dates and events, as well as providing a platform to celebrate the successes of our school community. We trust that you will get a flavour of life at our school and what underpins this wonderful school.

Camphill Primary School is committed to the pursuit of excellence in a welcoming and caring environment. We are a well-established and respected school in the town of Ballymena. Expectations of academic progress are high and we support each individual child, empowering them to reach their potential and develop their talents. We aim to provide a broad and balanced learning experience preparing our children for the society they will one day be working in. A range of extra-curricular activities further supports this. We recognise the importance of supporting our families and embedding partnerships with our parents that create open channels of communication to best support our children throughout their years at Camphill Primary School.

Our prospectus offers an insight into the wonderful learning environment that we have to offer. I would like to extend an invitation to you and your child to visit our school and see it in action. This will provide an opportunity to immerse yourself into our positive learning environment and fully appreciate all that we have to offer. 

Thank you for visiting Camphill Primary School website. We hope you find our website useful and keep coming back to find out what our pupils have been doing!   If you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact the school.
