About Us
Carryduff Primary is located in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of South Belfast. It is a vibrant and friendly school and we cater for children both from the local area and further afield. We welcome children from all religious and cultural backgrounds. We set high standards and have high expectations of everyone in our school community. The school has an excellent reputation for academic standards, but it also recognises the importance of sport, the arts and pastoral care.
In a recent ETI Inspection, June 2015, Achievements and Standards were found to be 'Very Good'.
The school has approximately 180 pupils in nine classes. With recently refurbished facilities, the school is well equipped to deliver the Northern Ireland curriculum in stimulating and spacious accommodation. The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular clubs for its Primary 1 to Primary 7 pupils. Parents really appreciate the WrapAround pre-school and after school care which is available on site.
We understand that parental support is key to a successful school career. We welcome parents to many events throughout the year and keep them regularly up-dated on school life. We adopt an open door policy and promote a sharing of information.
In Carryduff Primary pastoral care is very important. The school has a family feel and every child is known to and valued by all the staff. We strive to ensure our pupils are happy and confident, and whilst we nurture them we also aim to develop their independence.
"The high quality pastoral care reflects the child-centred provision and ethos of the whole school." ETI Inspection report June 2015.
The school operates two Social Communication Unit classes which aim to support pupils with a variety of social and communication difficulties associated with Autistic Spectrum disorders.
The highly structured learning environment supports up to eight pupils per class with a teacher and two classroom assistants. These pupils follow all areas of the
curriculum, with a specific emphasis on developing the social and communication
skills necessary for the pupil to reach their full potential. Integration into school life and mainstream classes is encouraged as and when the individual pupil is ready.
The ETI deemed the quality of provision within the Social Communication Unit to be 'Very Good' in the June 2015 Inspection.
"The ethos is caring and the children and their needs are managed sensitively..."
"Children in the social Communication Unit make very good progress."
