The school has a very strong community spirit and has a real family atmosphere. The teachers are all lovely to deal with and a first class education is provided to all students. The location of the school is quite rural making it hard for anyone without transport to send their kids here but it still have a very active intake and is expanding every year. The school has had many closure threats over the years but have been able to survive these.

As parents we find Creavery a fantastic primary school for our daughter. We can't speak highly…read moreenough of it. The staff are all very friendly, approachable and experienced. One teacher got an award for being one of the best primary science teachers in the U.K! There are only two specialist science primary schools in Northern Ireland and Creavery is one of them! There are plenty of excellent after schools activities and each child is definitely valued and respected. There are parents meetings regularly for each class to keep parents up to date with what is going on in the classroom which are very informative. It is a very busy school with brilliant staff who ensure that the pupils aren't disadvantaged in any way because the school is 'smaller'. There is also a great community spirit with plenty for parents to get involved in eg craft & craic, bumps & buggies and lots more. The intake has been increasing every year and that is no surprise. Most importantly our daughter loves going to school and is very happy there. We highly recommend Creavery Primary School.

One of my children is very academic and is doing so well, she is definitely stretched and is expected to do very well at gcse and a-level. My other child has a statement of special need and is blooming as well. Neither has ever experienced bullying, of course there are loudmouths but you get that any school. The school is tied to letting you pick four gcses as the other four are compulsory (govt). I think taking 8 gcses is more than enough for any child.

Inclusive society and good chances for education. These are two things you will not receive here. A…read morelot of people don't know how to spell inclusive, they don't know what it means. There are particular groups of people who will harass you at every opportunity they can. They only let you pick 4 GCSE's and if you pick Double Award Science, only 3. Some of the rules here are nonsensical, and if you breach them, expect an awkward trip to your Year Head. The teachers are mixed. Some good, some not so much. All in all, this school is a disappointment because I would have expected more. Unfortunately, it is not the 'Best School East of Lough Neagh, it's not even the best school in Lisburn. If you don't listen to what they say and come here not expecting much, you'll be a little surprised. If you're smart and need a challenge, look elsewhere. In all likelihood, you'll be trapped in a class with loudmouths who never shut up, why? Well, because the class system is broken, too. You may be put in a class with the loudest, most annoying people ever for no apparent reason. And if you say anything, you'll be left hanging. Don't get me wrong, there are some good teachers who genuinely care about you, but, really, I would have expected more. Heed my advice, don't make this school your first choice.
