Dear parent/guardian,

Welcome to the website of Killowen Primary School and Nursery Unit.  Our school enjoys a fine reputation of providing quality learning and teaching for children aged three to eleven.

The aim of our website is, not only to keep you up-to-date with school life, but also to give you a greater insight into the ethos and day-to-day running of Killowen.

As a previous class teacher here in Killowen and now principal, I am privileged to lead a dedicated team of staff who ensure our school is where your child will Explore, Excite and Excel in our care.

Our school staff strive to provide a safe, friendly environment where your child can develop skills to establish firm foundations for lifelong learning and which will equip them to grow into independent, responsible adults.

With our Nursery now a registered Forest School and our school recognised as a School of Sanctuary and an Eco School, our motto of ‘Explore Excite Excel’ reflects our active, enquiry-based approach.

We provide a stimulating learning and teaching environment where children from all traditions and cultures are welcomed, respected and nurtured together.

Emphasis is placed on the positive and supportive environment in our school in which every child can feel secure, work happily and benefit from a curriculum rich in inspiring experiences.

There is always something exciting going on at Killowen, so whether you are a current parent, a prospective parent or one of our very own pupils, we hope you will enjoy finding out about our school on this website.

Mrs K N Watson BEd MEd PQHNI
Principal
