School Tour (click on images to enlarge)
The Front of the School
This image shows the front of Orchard County. The school is built on a beautiful rural site overlooking the fields of Annaghmore. The grounds contain a grass sports area (incorporating a 7-a-side football pitch) and numerous trees and shrubs. During the spring and summer months the the pupils (led by the Eco-Committee) maintain the beds and vegetable plots. On sports day and PTA summer events each June, the whole area is a hive of activity as hundreds cheer on the competitors.
The Multi-Purpose Hall
Here you can see our multi-pupose hall. It is used for school assemblies, PE, school peerformances and indoor games. Wall bars and a huge amount of PE resources make this an excellent area to ejoy physical activities. The hall also becomes our canteen at dinner times so it is always a busy place.
The Rear Entrance and Playground
This image shows the back entrance and part of the main payground here at Orchard County Primary School. The playground contains a sports area, summer benches and games markings for the children to enjoy. At break and lunch times this area is a fun place to be with games galore. Our supervisory staff are always keeping an eye out for those who need a little extra encouragement!
The Entrance and Main Corridor
This is the foyer and main corridor, where any real tour will start and end! As you can see we have the most beautiful, bright and colourful school. Please feel free to arrange a proper tour if you have never seen around or if you are considering enrolling your child with us.
The Reception / P1 Classroom
This is Mrs. Davidson's and Miss Kennedy's room. Children's eyes light up when they enter this maze of colour and fun. However, it is not all just about having fun and quality early education occurs every single day in this wonderful Reception/ P1 environment.
Primary 1 / Primary 2 Classroom
This is where most of the older P1s and the P2 children do most of their learning! In here the children enjoy loads of practical Numeracy and Literacy. Mrs. Erwin teaches this class from Monday to Thursday and Miss Kennedy is in charge on Fridays!
Primary 3 / Primary 4 Classroom
Welcome to the P3/P4 classroom! Here Mrs. McMillan and Miss Kennedy oversee all kinds of daily learning. Their day is filled with a range of play and more traditional learning styles, creating an excellent mix of fun and educational development.
Primary 5 Classroom
Come on into Mr. Crawford's P4/P5 room! Here we make the transition from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 and the room reflects this. Like all of our classrooms, the interactive whiteboard is continually in use in here and continually adding to the educational experiences.
Primary 6 / Primary 7 Classroom
You've reached the top of the school and P6/P7! Here Mr. Blevins and Mrs. Allen ensure our pupils are well prepared for life after Orchard County. The room structure matches what should be maturing students and ensures they are ready to take on secondary education.
The Small Group Room
Welcome to Miss Kennedy's Small Group Room. As well as working one day per week in the Reception/P1 class and one day per week in the P3 room, Miss Kennedy works closely in small groups with those who need that little extra bit of support.
The Car Park
Unlike most rural schools, Orchard County has an excellent car parking area both for staff and visitors. This includes two spaces for disabled users. We really encourage safe and sensible practice here and recently the P6/P7 class completed a survey to advise all users how safety can be improved here. This area is also used for P7 Cycling Proficiency.
