Shared Education Signature Project

St. Mary's are involved in the Shared Education Signature Project from September 2016.

This project compliments our established cross community links with Newmills PS.

The Shared Education Signature Project (SESP) encourages schools to make collaborations with schools from other sectors an integral part of school life thereby creating enhanced educational and personal development opportunities for everyone involved.

This programme provides invaluable educational opportunities for children from P1 to P7 to explore issues such as friendship, diversity and respecting difference. It also complements children's learning in the ‘Personal Development and Mutual Understanding' area of the primary curriculum.

On a number of occasions throughout the year, each class from St. Mary's PS joins a class from Newmills PS to experience a wide range of activities. This active partnership between the two schools has enhanced the learning opportunities for all involved.
