The Education Authority’s proposals for a new post-primary school
on the land at Three Mile Water Playing Fields, Doagh Road, were
passed by Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council for full planning
approval in June 2023.  
It is anticipated that construction will commence
late 2024, with the anticipated opening in the academic year 2026/27

This will give our students, staff and community the most modern,
up-to-date technology and infrastructure for learning and teaching.
Equiping everyone to realise our college motto of –
BELIEVE, ACHIEVE, SUCCEED.

Thank You for a successful first term at NI Schools Esports Club!

As we approach the end of a fantastic first term at our NI Schools Esports Clubs, we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to you, the parents, for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout these past weeks.

It has been an incredible journey witnessing your sons and daughters embrace the world of Esports with enthusiasm, teamwork, and a passion for gaming. The progress and camaraderie displayed by each participant have truly made this term memorable for all of us at NI Schools Esports.

The upcoming term promises new adventures, exciting challenges, and, of course, plenty of gaming fun. The details regarding the schedule, timings, and dates will be available on our website: https://nischoolsesports.com. Be sure to check the website for the latest updates and information.

Once again, thank you for entrusting us with the opportunity to engage and inspire your children through Esports. We are honoured to be a part of their journey and can't wait to continue this exciting adventure in the next term.

Operation Encompass
Our school is part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces.   Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse. 
As a school we have ensured that members of our staff, known as a Key Adult, have been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures allowing us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.   We are continuing to work behind the scenes to upskill our Safeguarding Team to ensure that the best possible support can be given to both the young person and the families, if and when needed.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.  We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
