Hillcroft here for a Christmas Special

It was a real pleasure to welcome some young people from Hillcroft School up for a special Carol Service. Our children performed well and the pupils and staff from Hillcroft seemed to enjoy the morning. Well done to all and do look at some photographs on the main photograph page.

Carol Service

Don't you love Christmas?

Last night was a superb evening with every pupil involved in our annual Carol Service. We were really well supported and had nearly 300 people at the service - not bad for a school of 143 children! All the children performed brilliantly and it was a pleasure to be able to hand over cheque to the Scott Osprey Wheelchair Fund from the PTA.
Thanks to everyone for a great night.

Football

Once again the football team played really well at another of the inter-school competitions at the University of Ulster at Jordanstown. We won 2 matches and lost 2 (narrowly!).

The boys represented the school well and I was vey proud of their playing and behaviour. It was great also to have some parents with us to cheer on the team.

Choir Sing at the Mill

I am a really proud Headmaster!

The choir were singing for the Mayor at Mossley Mill for the annual Carol Service. We were asked to take part and we, as usual, did brilliantly!!

Well done to everyone!
