Welcome message from Mr McDaid

Welcome to our school website! As you navigate your way through this site I hope that your overwhelming impression is that we are a nurturing school. I hope you see a school that offers your child opportunities to learn and to achieve – a school that develops and enriches your child through their daily experiences.

Most especially we are an Integrated school and in this environment, we talk about who we are and what we believe – we respect our own and others' cultures and backgrounds and take on the challenges that living in Northern Ireland continues to present.

Everyone had a great time at our sports day, Thankfully the rain held off.😀

"Hazelwood continues to be an outstanding example of integration in practice"

"Hazelwood continues to be an outstanding example of integration in practice"

A few weeks ago our school was assessed for the Excellence in Integration Award. Not only were we successful but we became the first integrated school in Northern Ireland to achieve this award 3 times. This is a fantastic achievement for the entire Hazelwood community. I have included a summary from the report below.

“Hazelwood Integrated Primary and Nursery School continues to be an outstanding example of Integration in practice. It is an excellent example of a mature Integrated school that is willing and able to respond to a changing environment whilst holding fast to its founding principles. Over a long period of time the school has used the EIEA process as one means of ensuring an evolving safe and stimulating environment for its pupils, staff and parents.  The sense of community in the school is very impressive. It continues to have a high level of innovation in its practice. Its ability to manage its resources for the benefit of its pupils is testament to its wider management and governance.

The Governors, Principal, staff, pupils and parents deserve great credit for contributing so faithfully to this excellent Integrated primary and nursery school. 

The school clearly continues to make a large contribution for good and harmonious relations in the area.”

Thank you

Mr McDaid

Parent/Carer Workshops

Dear Parents/Carers,

Worry and anxiety is a commonly experienced emotion amongst primary school pupils and can often be a normal reaction to areas of stress and change.  However, when children experience high levels of anxiety for a longer period of time, it may begin to impact on other areas of their lives, including school.

At Hazelwood, we recognise that some children may need additional emotional support and our counsellor, Lynne Dornan, has worked with many of our pupils to help them recognise their emotions and learn strategies to help them when they feel overwhelmed.

If you are a parent/carer of a child presenting with worry and/or anxiety it can often be a difficult time.  We would like to offer some support to our parents/carers who are facing this challenge and Lynne is going to lead 6 weeks of workshops for parents beginning on Wednesday 15 April from 3-4pm.  Children can be supervised in school during this time to allow parents/carers to attend.

If you are interested in attending the workshops, please click on the form link below, or if you would like more information, please contact Mrs Blair or Miss Agnew through the school office.
