At Cavehill we aim to provide a friendly and caring environment where children are happy in their learning, highly stimulated and encouraged and praised at every opportunity. We aim to raise the self-esteem of all our pupils and to help them feel secure in the knowledge that they are valued members of our school community.

It is our desire that the staff at Cavehill Primary will work in partnership with parents to ensure that our children are provided with every opportunity to achieve their full potential and have a very safe and happy primary school experience.

We have a dedicated, experienced and committed staff who always endeavor to ensure that the needs of our children are placed at the centre of all actions and decisions. We hope that you will find Cavehill to be a caring school which provides a very high-quality learning environment, in which your child will succeed both academically and socially, developing into a responsible and well-mannered citizen.

Our aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which delivers a positive educational experience to all the children at Cavehill Primary School, within a caring and supportive environment.

The school is committed to providing pupils with access to a relevant programme of study centred on meeting the requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum as set out in the following areas:- Mathematics and Numeracy; Language and Literacy; The World Around Us (Science and Technology, History and Geography); The Arts (Music, Drama, Art and Design); PDMU (Personal Development and Mutual Understanding); and Physical Education.

In Cavehill Primary School we aim to provide the best possible environment for high quality teaching and learning to take place. We endeavour to ensure that every child achieves his or her full potential. We are not just providers of curriculum subjects and more particularly the skills associated with those subjects; but are a place where the whole child is developed. We place special emphasis on social development, self-discipline, self-esteem, respect for all and pupils taking a level of responsibility for both their learning and behaviour.
