About our School
Creavery Primary School is a hidden gem, rooted in the countryside amongst green fields and yet only a couple of minutes from Dunsilly roundabout, behind the Ramble Inn (BT41 2LH). Creavery has a proud history dating back almost 200 years with strong community relations. The school has educated generations of pupils over this time and while some current classes have fourth generation Creavery pupils, newcomers are equally welcomed into the warmth of the Creavery family.
The vision of Creavery Primary School is to provide a stable, happy atmosphere where every child learns to respect themselves and others, feels safe and valued, and is encouraged to develop to their full potential.
We strive to develop self-confidence and independence that will enable every child to take responsibility for themselves, we encourage our children to develop self-discipline and organise their own learning, in preparation for post-primary education and for the experiences of adulthood.
Creavery’s goal is to encourage the development of the intellectual, physical, moral, cultural, social and spiritual values that will enable every child to become a valued member of the community.
It might be our 197th year educating children in their primary school careers, but here’s one thing that we have learnt over all of those years - education is cyclical; trends and approaches rise and fall in popularity. It really is a case of ‘wait long enough and it’ll all come around again.’
With this in mind, the only true constant is the child. Children haven’t changed. They need to play, read, run, laugh and have their school as a wonderful place in which to get lost in learning. To this end, here’s why we think you should consider ourselves…..
What makes Creavery P.S. so special?
Chutney and Pippin the P1-P2 pet rabbits!
Creavery’s youngest pupils are trusted to take care of their class rabbits with everyone taking turns at feeding and walking the rabbits outside. This helps the children learn responsibility, respect, sharing, patience and to think about others- important life lessons which will develop and grow with each child throughout their school journey.
Amazing outdoor space:
Creavery has an extensive outdoor area where pupils can play, explore and learn; an adventure trail, a woodland classroom, polytunnel, orchard, sports field, climbing equipment and a large outdoor community classroom are all used to enhance the children’s learning experience. Grants totalling over £20,000 have been spent developing the outdoor space over recent months with more exciting plans in progress!
High staff to pupil ratio:
As a small, close-knit school, Creavery’s high staff:pupil ratios mean each child benefits from a lot of one-to-one attention, something which has been proven to improve learning and increase understanding. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of every child and provides opportunities for each child to succeed, incorporating all areas of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
