Welcome
🌟 A Message from the Principal
As an Integrated School, I would like to offer you a glimpse into life at Loughries Integrated Primary School.
Visitors often comment that Loughries feels different—and we believe that is because of our strong sense of community. Here, every child is known and valued, and relationships flourish across all year groups. Our staff and pupils work together in a warm, welcoming environment where all traditions, cultures, and abilities are respected and nurtured.
We are essentially Christian in character, but we actively strive to ensure that everyone’s background is respected and included. Our integrated ethos is at the heart of everything we do. We empower our children to become thoughtful, compassionate individuals who are equipped to make a positive impact in the shared society we live in.
At Loughries, we celebrate the uniqueness of every child and hold high expectations for their development—academically, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. We deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that supports each child in reaching their full potential.
Our success is built on strong partnerships between Governors, Staff, and Parents/Carers. By working together, we ensure that every pupil receives a high-quality education and the support they need to thrive.
I warmly invite you to make an appointment to visit our school—come and see for yourself what makes Loughries such a special place to learn and grow.
Mrs J Thompson
Principal
