St Patrick’s Primary School is nestled on the outskirts of Waterfoot village, in the heart of the Glens of Antrim. Surrounded by a tranquil rural landscape, our pupils benefit daily from the beauty of nature. The school grounds include expansive grass and tarmac play areas, offering stunning views of Glenariff Glen to the rear and the Sea of Moyle to the front - a truly inspiring setting for learning and growth.

Rooted in a strong Catholic ethos, our school fosters a caring and inclusive environment where close partnerships between home, parish, and school are actively nurtured. Pupils are empowered to have a voice through the School and Eco Councils, and they take on meaningful roles as Addressing Bullying Ambassadors and Wellbeing Champions.

We are proud to deliver a high standard of education, supported by dedicated staff and a committed parent and parish community. Our broad and balanced curriculum is enriched by a strong emphasis on nurturing the sporting and musical talents of our children. Over the years, St Patrick’s has celebrated many achievements across academic, cultural, social, and sporting domains.

Visitors to our school often comment on the warm and welcoming atmosphere. We value opportunities for educational visits both within and beyond our local area. As part of our commitment to health and wellbeing, we follow the healthy eating initiative, with nutritious snacks and meals freshly prepared on-site.

Our school has earned recognition through several awards, including four Eco School Green Flags, Take 5 Level 3, and the Sustrans Gold Award. We are currently working towards achieving the Autism Impact Award, reflecting our dedication to inclusivity and support for all learners.

Above all, St Patrick’s Primary School is a place where faith guides us, belonging strengthens us, and every child is supported to grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity. We strive to create a happy, nurturing environment where each child feels valued and inspired to flourish.
