St Olcan’s Primary School has had a long history of working in partnership with schools from different sectors.  We have worked closely with Armoy Primary School for almost 30 years through cross-community initiates such as E.M.U. (Education for Mutual Understanding) and P.I.E.E Project (Primary Integration/ Enriching Education).   This partnership has enabled our children to make new friends with children from different backgrounds and engage in collaborative and meaningful learning experiences. Shared Education has provided many opportunities for teachers across both schools to come together, share resources and ideas and add to their existing repertoire of teaching skills.   

Our partnership continues to develop with the addition of Straidbilly Primary School and lots of new and exciting projects. The staff have worked together to produce a Shared Education policy and vision. 

Our Shared Vision is:

“Together we seek to enhance the quality of teaching and learning through meaningful shared opportunities for our schools and our community”
