Kirkinriola Primary School, Ballymena

Forest School

Kirkinriola is proud to have been the first Primary School in the North Eastern Region to have gained Forest School Status. 

We run regular Forest School sessions which provide our pupils with unique experiences that challenge them to think creatively and requires them to be proactive problem solvers. Forest School sessions also encourage pupils to consider how these experiences make them feel and lay the foundations for emotional intelligence development.
