Thank you for taking the time to visit the website of St. Joseph's Primary School, Antrim.  Whether you are a current student, past pupil, current or prospective parent or just a casual browser, I hope you will find this site to be a useful source of information about life at St. Joseph's.

For those parents considering St. Joseph's as a possible school for their son/daughter, we hope that this website will encourage you to come and visit us to see for yourselves. The staff and pupils will take pleasure in showing you a friendly and forward-looking school.  You can get a brief introduction to our school on the Welcome page.

Read a copy of our most recent Inspection report where the school was awarded a Grade 1.  The inspection concluded that, "The quality of education in this school is outstanding".

The school intends to stay open during any minor fall of snow. Parents, staff and pupils should plan for this event. In the instance where snow is so heavy that the school cannot function, notification will be posted on the BBC website and will also appear on the school Facebook page. We will also text all of our parents to advise them of the closure and if the weather is particularly severe, we will aim to do this the night before.

School will close for the Christmas holidays on Thursday 22nd December and will reopen for pupils on Monday 9th January 2012. We wish all our families and friends a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

Pupil of the Week Awards are made to children who demonstrate the qualities that we seek to develop - hard workers, polite, helpful, friendly towards other children and staff.  Children are encouraged to improve on their personal bests and meet their targets.  This is one job that the teachers do not relish, choosing two children from a class can be extremely hard, as often there are many children to whom the award could be given.

Attendance Awards  Attendance awards are given to all pupils who have 100% attendance every month and the winning class has a class party. Congratulations to P5 who are the current award holders!

Class of the Week  Primary 2 and Primary 4 are the classes of the week.
