Get Ready for Walk to School Week! 
Special Event – Walking Bus!
Tuesday 12th May Thursday 14th May
Leaving school at 8:25am, with 3 pick-up stops along the way (see attached poster for details).
Please remember: children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
And there’s more… every child who takes part will receive a token to mark the event!
Today, we shared some fantastic news with our P3–P6 pupils — next academic year, we’ll be staging a whole-school production of Annie! 🌟
The performances will take place in February 2027, with 2–3 ticketed shows for families and friends to enjoy. We’re so excited to give our pupils the chance to shine and showcase their many talents!
🎤 Auditions
Open auditions will be held in school on Monday 1st June for anyone who would like to take part. Pupils will:
- Sing “It’s a Hard Knock Life” in groups
- Perform a short set of lines and act these out
Parents/guardians, we’d love your support—please help your child practise the song, encourage them to audition, and maybe enjoy watching the Annie movie together over the incoming weeks! 🎬
🎶 Rehearsals will begin in September 2026.
We can’t wait to bring this wonderful show to life and perform for you all! 💛
Well done to everyone who entered our recent Earth Day competition!
Our corridor is glowing with all of these fantastic entries.
If your child is off, you MUST provide us with a reason why - as a school, we have a duty to know reasons for absence and monitor these.
Your pupil must only be off for a valid reason - sickness, appointment, something agreed with Principal/ Vice-Principal etc.
When monitoring attendance, the following flowcharts come into play. Please read them carefully to understand your role alongside the role of school staff.
Thank you.
Yesterday, we were delighted to present a cheque for £195 to our Charity of the Year – Children’s Kidney Fund NI. This fantastic total was raised during our Christmas Party/Disco Day, and we couldn’t be more thankful! 🎄💃🕺
Our School Council chose this charity because of its special significance within our school community. In the past year, one of our own pupils benefited from a successful kidney transplant, making this cause especially meaningful and close to our hearts. ❤️
We have pledged to continue supporting Children’s Kidney Fund NI throughout the year, and we look forward to making an even greater impact together.
Thank you to everyone who contributed — your kindness truly makes a difference! 🌟🙌

🎭 Hart Memorial Primary School Presents: “The Opposites” 🎭
Today, Friday 12th December, our amazing staff took to the stage for a hilarious Christmas pantomime full of surprises, magic, and festive fun!
From strict rules to total chaos, from neat freaks to party animals – the staffroom has never looked like this before! Mischievous elves turned everything upside down, even Santa got involved (and almost cancelled Christmas 😱).
Thankfully, with a little help from our Chief Elf and the children, the magic was reversed and Christmas was saved! 🎅✨
A huge thank you to all our talented staff for bringing so much laughter and joy to the school today. 💫
