It is my pleasure as principal of St. Columban’s Primary School, Belfast, to warmly welcome you to our website.  As you browse through the website, hopefully you will get a flavour of what St. Columban’s Primary School, a school built on family values and community links, has to offer your son or daughter.

Choosing the right school for your son or daughter is an important responsibility for you and we are very aware that you are placing all your trust in us.   Within our Website and facebook page, we hope to give you an understanding of the fantastic learning opportunities and high academic experiences that we will be providing for your child on their journey throughout the school.  

As soon as you step through the front door, you will realise that you are in a special centre of excellence. As a school community, we do our very best for all the children in a safe, nurturing, friendly, caring and positive environment where your child will thrive and shine!

In St. Columban’s Primary School every child is treated as precious and unique.  We aim to develop their skills and abilities to the highest standard achieving high academic achievements, confidence, independence and a vision to know that anything is possible.   

They will have experience of a practical, fun, creative and structured curriculum which enables them to “learn-by-doing” which in turn enhances their ability to succeed within all tasks that they encounter.  They will develop their talents, abilities and skills to prepare them for their future within the community and society as a whole. 

We encourage our children to embrace challenge and diversity whilst making friendships, having fun and making fantastic memories that will last a lifetime. 

Feel free to contact us if you wish to arrange a visit to St Columban’s Primary School to experience the wealth of opportunities and experiences provided to the children, who are not only the foundation, but also the future of their community. 

Thank you for visiting!

Mrs Joanne Smyth
