We are nestled in beautiful countryside not far from Castlerock, with stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean. Our school provides a happy, caring and child-centred learning environment where all pupils can reach their full potential. We are a school with a long tradition of educating children from different faiths.
We work in close partnership with our pupils, parents, governors, parish and local community. This is an exciting time for our school as we prepare to celebrate 150 years of educating children. I encourage you to make an appointment to visit our school so that you can experience at first hand the warm, friendly atmosphere that exists in Ballyhackett P.S.

We are committed to providing a safe, child-centred, high quality learning environment in which pupils are motivated, challenged and supported so that they can become lifelong learners.
