Restarting School Strategic Plan
This document outlines our school’s response to the Department of Education’s ‘Northern Ireland Reopening Schools Guidance - A New School Day’.
It outlines the key elements and new procedures required for us as a school community to work together in ensuring that all our pupils, parents and staff are kept safe at this time.
It is an important document that every parent must read.
It is subject to change as we respond to the current situation and will be updated regularly. When we do, we will let you know by email.
Extended School Day
To assist parents with drop off and collection times, King’s Park offers a Breakfast Club each morning from 8.00am to 8.45am and Mini Club for P1-P3 pupils from 2.00pm to 3.00pm each day.
As school finishes for all pupils at 2.00pm each Friday, there is Club KP for P4-P7 pupils until 3.00pm.
Breakfast Club costs £1.50 per pupil per session.
Mini Club and Club KP cost £2.50 per pupil per session.
All sessions can be booked and paid for using our School Gateway app.
After School Activities
At King’s Park Primary we offer a range of different clubs that run after school. These clubs are not only fun but aim to boost your child’s self-esteem and confidence and give them the opportunity to succeed in different areas outside the school curriculum. A number of the clubs are taken by school staff, with external providers coming in to offer further opportunities for our pupils.

Ready, Respect, Safe - Our Behaviour Policy
King’s Park Primary School is committed to creating a safe environment for all members of our community, where excellent behaviour is modelled and demonstrated by all. We recognise that the foundation for excellent learning is exemplary behaviour and therefore it is at the heart of what we do. At King’s Park everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. Our behaviour policy guides staff to teach self-discipline not just compliance. It echoes our core values with a heavy emphasis on respectful behaviour, a partnership approach to managing poor conduct and dynamic interventions that support staff and children.
