An Old French Proverb Says:

“A child is like a fire to be lit; not a vase to be filled”

In Kilkeel Primary school we aim to give our children an education that is best suited to their age and ability.

We strive to help our pupils acquire skills and develop abilities that will help them to prepare for adult life in an ever-changing world.

However, we also see a child’s time at primary school as a special period in his/her life, a time to value in its own right, a time to explore an exciting world and to experience love and care.
