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!

Celebrating Integrated Education

Celebrating Integrated Education

March is Integrated Education Month and we celebrated in school with a special assembly! We invited guests from our local community: local clergy, local politicians, sports coaches, post-primary principals, current governors and founding governors! 

Children from throughout the school took part, explaining to our visitors what integration means to us. We explained the history of our school and how we have grown from our first class in 1991 to an almost full school of 224 pupils! P4 sang and signed a song to show how welcoming our school is to children of all abilities. P7 gave a presentation of the myths of St Patrick and the choir entertained us with a rendition of a Peace Proms song. Everyone dressed in odd socks for the occassion and P3 explained that it is ok to be different! 

We rounded off the morning with tea, coffee and tray bakes, kindly provided by our Parents' Council. 

 

 

Big Walk and Wheel

Big Walk and Wheel

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is the UK's largest walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling challenge. It inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world. Help us to celebrate the 15th year of Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel and make it the biggest one yet! 

This year the challenge will run from Monday 11th March to Friday 22nd March. On each day of the challenge we will compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting, roller skating, skateboarding or cycling to school! All schools who have 15% of their pupils taking part each day will be entered into a prize draw! The more people who take part, the better our chances of winning! 

If children live too far away to "Walk and Wheel" the whole way to school, they can "park and stride": park near our school and travel sustainably for the rest of the way. To help out, a "Walking Bus" will be meeting each morning at 8.30am at The Cliff and volunteer supervisors will walk with the children to school. 

Let's get on the move and help save our planet!

Our Eco Committee has created something very special to help you guide Santa and his reindeer to your house! Our Magical Reindeer Food can be sprinkled on your lawn or path on Christmas Eve. The moonlight will make the magic ingredients sparkle and light up the way to your door! 
 
Our Magical Reindeer Food is environmentally friendly and safe for birds and other animals to eat. Bags can be bought in school for £1 from our P4 classroom and will also be available to purchase on 15th December during the Corran Christmas Shows.
