Education Minister has officially opened new
facilities at Foley Primary School.
The project comprises of a multi-purpose sports hall, two mobile
classrooms, new school central heating system, resurfacing of the
school yard and a new perimeter fence with controlled access.
Speaking at the official opening, said: “The investment of
over £1.1million has provided new, improved facilities and
accommodation for all the school staff and pupils at Foley
Primary School. This will enhance the educational experience for
everyone attending the school and for future
generations.
“The opening of any school buildings and refurbishments
is something to be celebrated and improving the schools' estate
remains a key priority for me.”
While touring the new facilities, continued: “The new
multi-purpose sports hall will enable all curriculum areas,
including PE, drama and music to be delivered to a high standard
in a safe environment.
“This is a very good day for pupils and staff at Foley
Primary School. This scheme will make a real difference to their
daily lives, particularly as it will help deliver high-quality
education for all.”
The Minister concluded: “It is always a privilege to
visit schools across Northern Ireland and see at first hand the
excellent work that is being carried out. I know that the
principal, his staff and the Board of Governors work hard to make
the school a happy and caring place for all their pupils and I
wish them every success for the future in their new
facilities.”
