Welcome

Corran IPS is an integrated, co-educational primary school and nursery unit which welcomes, respects and cherishes children of differing religions whilst retaining its own Christian character. Corran is also an inclusive school, welcoming all children from differing traditions, race, class, abilities and disabilities.  

We aim to provide a happy, secure environment in which children can realise their full potential as individuals through effective learning. Every opportunity is given for children to experience individual success.

Our new school  building, opened in September 2019, is located on a breathtaking site overlooking the sea and the sweeping Antrim hills.

Hello and welcome to our new website!

Magical Reindeer Food On Sale Now!
Our fabulous Eco Council has created a wonderful, new product: magical reindeer food! This very special, handmade, organic food can be sprinkled on lawns on Christmas Eve to provide essential nutrients for reindeer. The product contains no glitter, yet will magically sparkle in the moonlight to light up a pathway for Santa and his team; the food is safe for other animals to eat too! 
Bags of Magical Reindeer Food will be on sale at our Christmas Shows on Friday 13th December (£1 per bag). Supplies can also be purchased directly from the P4 classroom this week.

Harvest Celebration

Harvest Celebration

We have been celebrating Harvest in school with a special assembly full of wonderful singing and impressive presentations. Important guests from Broadways Nursing Home and Larne Foodbank came along to join us as well as some members of our Board of Governors. 

Every class took part in the service: 

  • P1 told us about the beginning of the world
  • P2 sang a specially written Harvest song (penned by our own Mrs McGarry!)
  • P3 explained the journey of a potato from the fields to our forks
  • P4 talked to us about creating a peaceful world 
  • P5 performed "Beautiful World"
  • P6 explained the meaning behind Harvest
  • P7 performed a rap about the importance of eating your vegetables! 

Rev Moore from the Church of Ireland helped us to say a thanksgiving prayer and Mrs Morrow from Larne Foodbank gave us an update on how many local families have been helped because of food donations. 

Our Corran families were very generous again with their donations for the Foodbank. 

Another successful Harvest Home!

Back To School!

It's a big thumbs up from everyone as we get back into the school routine at Corran! The girls and boys have been fantastic at coming into school and are settling down for a wonderful year of learning. 

Parents and carers were welcomed at our Curriculum Information Evening when they found out about PE days, homework, World Around Us topics and all the other important information about the year ahead; they even got to visit classrooms and sit in their child's seat!

Cycle Across the World Spin Challenge

Our Pupil Councillors have organised a fundraising extravaganza for everyone to join in and have some fun! It's the Cycle Across the World Spin Challenge! 

On Tuesday 25th June we will be taking turns on a spin bike to see how many miles we can log in a day: it’s £1 to take part and the money raised will be shared with local cancer charities supporting children and their families.

Our younger pupils will have a chance to join in on wobble bikes, trikes and bikes: fun for everyone!

How far do you think we will be able to cycle? Let's spin right around the world!
