Excitement was in the air this morning as the children arrived and explored our fantastic new natural resources🌟
These wonderful additions were made possible through the generosity of Tobermore Business Developments LTD and the amazing support from our Vinted Fundraiser.
There are a few more things still to come 😊
A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed – your kindness is helping us create even more exciting learning and play opportunities for our children 💛

Today we welcomed our new Pre-School friends from Ballyronan Community Playgroup to Tober Tinys for the first of our Shared Education activities. The children each got to participate in a very special activity as they made their own teddy 🥰 Thank you so much to Joanne from Crafty Teddies for a lovely morning 😊 The children also got to play together in playgroup, share snack and begin to get to know each other. We hope everyone had a lovely morning and we can’t wait to see you all soon ❤️💙

If you’re considering pre-school education for your child in September 2027, the Education Authority (EA) wants you to be aware of a number of changes to the process for applying 📢

The aim of the Pre-School Education Programme is to provide one year of high quality, funded pre-school education, for every child whose parents want it.

It isn’t compulsory and parents can apply if they want to, by listing in their order of preference, the pre-school settings to which they would be happy to send their child to.

We have published some information for parents and carers, including key dates, on our website at 👉 https://ow.ly/2z9c50ZX5t5

Further information on the procedure for pre-school admissions will be shared with parents, schools and settings in coming weeks.

📢 Key dates will also be communicated for applying for Primary One, Year 8 post primary and Senior High School places.

Updates will be published on https://ow.ly/Kn4K50ZX5t4 and on the EA’s social media channels.
