Vision and Ethos of the Partnership

We see our vision of shared education as being where schools collaborate across sectors to ensure that all children and young people have opportunities to learn together within the Derg Valley. We do not view shared education as just another policy initiative but believe it is essential to help schools improve and to increase educational outcomes for all children and young people by preparing them to play a full and active role in building and sustaining an open, inclusive and confident society.

P2 Play Dates

Pupils from St. Joseph's PS and Ardstraw Jubilee PS along with our pupils met at our three schools for play dates. We had great fun getting to know each other.

P7 Diversity Project

The P7 pupils from all the schools in our cluster met and shared their powerpoints on diversity. Each school presented, talking about the diversity in their immediate locality. It was really interesting.
