Knockmore Primary School’s Vision:

“Fully Committed to the Development of life Skills in Children” 

                      Above: Mrs Sharon Shannon, Acting Principal

The world our children are growing up in is changing rapidly. It is a world full of opportunities, challenges and possibilities. It is also a world that contains dangers and fears. As parents, we all want our children to lead happy, successful lives, to be in good relationships and to make good choices for their future.

Above: Playground Buddies are one of many aspects of types caring at Knockmore.

At Knockmore Primary School we aim to prepare children for life in tomorrow’s world. We believe that parents require more from a school than they did in the past. Teaching the ‘three ‘r’s, whilst still important, is now only one part of what we do. As well as teaching the academic subjects, our curriculum now includes: 
Personal and Social Education, Citizenship Education, Health Education, Drugs Awareness, Mutual Understanding and Thinking and Learning Skills.

With technology now affecting all of our lives in an increasing number of ways, we have equipped our new classrooms to enable children to exploit modern technology to assist their learning, to develop their learning skills, to learn how to make moral choices and to learn how to find information and use it for themselves.
Knockmore Primary School has been serving the Lisburn community and beyond since 1969. We maintain a proud heritage, along with a reputation for providing opportunities for every child, irrespective of religion, race or creed, to discover their true potential and experience success.
Please do call in and see us, as the true ethos of our school can only be fully experienced through a personal visit.
