We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the Excellence in Integrated Education Award following a successful visit by assessors from N.I.C.I.E. ( Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education).

This award recognises the strong integrated ethos which is embedded throughout our school. Over recent months, we have been gathering together evidence of the good practice which exists within our school. We were eager to share this with the NICIE assessors and also welcomed them to join us in school for a day so that they could see all that good practice in action! 

The assessors visited a whole school assembly, observed lessons in classrooms and held discussions with governors, parents, staff and (most importantly!) pupils. It was a very busy day and the assessors tell us that they were extremely impressed by everyone they met: they were full of praise for the fantastic integrated ethos and practice they experienced.

Well done, Team Corran!

A special Harvest Celebration Assembly was held in school! Our VIP guests for this important festival included Rev Ben Johnston (Gardenmore Presbyterian Church), David Ford (jubilee Farm), Ian Munro (Larne Foodbank), Gary Bisset (Inver Garden Centre) and Marty McToal (Marty's Catering). Some of our school governors also attended. 

All children from P1 to P7 took part in the assembly : the singing was wonderful! P1 performed an action song whilst P2 explained the links between our Take 5 wellbeing programme and harvest. P3 and P4 sang: P3 told us about the life of a potato and P4 changed the words of a famous George Ezra song to tell us about riding on a tractor! P5 and P6 gave presentations informing us about harvest around the world and where our food is produced locally. P7 performed a rap about how much they like to eat vegetables! 

After the service, pupils helped to gather together all of the wonderful donations for Larne Foodbank. Thank you to all of our Corran families who sent in items! 

Pupils are invited to come along to our Spooktacular Disco on Thursday 23rd October. 

·         P1-P4: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

·         P5-P7: 7:00 - 8:00 pm

Entrance will be by ticket and the discos are for Corran IPS pupils only. Parents or carers can buy tickets through the School Money app.

We hope that you will come along and join in the fun! It's a chance to dress up in your Hallowe'en costume - but don't be too scary! 

We are having a Book Fair this week! You can visit before or after school when our friendly P7 helpers will assist you with your purchases. Classes will also visit throughout the week during the school day. If children are bringing money into school to buy books or stationery, we recommend that they carry their cash in a purse/wallet or in an envelope marked with their name. 

Everything sold generates commission for us to buy more books for our school and classroom libraries. So why not come along and see what's on offer?! 

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Sustrans Active School Travel Gold Award! 

The judges commented very favourably on our application for this prestigious award, saying that they were very impressed by the hard work, dedication and enthusiasm demonstrated by everyone in school to promote the number of children making active, healthy journeys to school. The panel were particularly impressed with the success of our "Walking Bus". 

Well done, Team Corran! Thank you for all your support with this project. Keep walking, cycling or scooting to school when you can!
