Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St. Anthony’s Nursery School. 

Thank you for your interest in our school.  

Here at St. Anthony’s Nursey School, we aim to provide a caring, nurturing and safe environment where your child’s learning adventure begins. The child is at the centre of everything we do and we aspire that all our children thrive through our school motto ‘Shine, Smile, Succeed’.

We are a co-educational maintained nursery school, and we welcome children of all faiths whose beliefs are respected. Our school caters for children within the Larne community and the wider surrounding area. Our children transfer to several local primary schools whom we work closely with to ensure a positive transition to Primary One.

By working in partnership with our families, we aim to provide an environment which will support our children to become happy, secure, and independent learners. Together we strive to lay the foundations for a life-long love of learning and a brighter future.

The six areas of the Northern Ireland Pre School-Curriculum are delivered through a holistic range of activities, ensuring the needs of all learners are met. We support the social and emotional wellbeing of our children, their physical, cognitive and speech and language development through our daily practice and fun learning experiences.

We hope that you find our website informative and interesting. It is intended to offer you some information about life in St. Anthony’s Nursery School. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any further questions or queries. I look forward to welcoming you and your child in the future.
