Roe Valley Integrated Primary School Limavady

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!

Roe Valley IPS is a child-centred, all inclusive, integrated primary school celebrating 18 years as the only integrated school in the Limavady area. We welcome, celebrate, respect and cherish children of all backgrounds and faiths, developing an open-minded attitude in children and enabling them to value each other's beliefs.

As children are at the heart of our school we believe all children are special and should feel valued. Our happy, creative children have a love for learning, develop confidence, high self-esteem and independence, and reach their potential - academically, socially, physically and emotionally.

Our children thrive in an atmosphere that is nurturing and positive, and experience success in an enriching, vibrant and safe learning environment. Children access the wonders of Roe Valley IPS, our innovative technology, our outdoor classroom and play facilities, sport, music and language sessions, our breakfast club, extracurricular activities and the extended day.

As a dedicated, professional and caring school team we pride ourselves in our partnerships with parents, excellence in learning and teaching and in pastoral care. We are a listening school.

Our children, parents, staff and governors have real pride in our school and we are excited about our current new school build process.

RVIPS Parent/Guardian Testimonials

Primary 1 Parent/Guardian

"One of the best decisions I made was to send my children to this school as the whole school is just like one big family and the staff are always open for conversations incase you have a problem but I haven't faced one yet, and both children have came out of their shells especially my eldest as he was such a shy child and has helped his confidence so much."

Primary 1 Parent/Guardian

"I'm so glad we chose RVIPS for our daughter Farrah. She struggled with playschool and childcare settings so I was nervous for her to begin primary one. She has totally come out of her shell and runs in every morning. The learning is fantastic and we couldn't rate Mrs Boyd and Siobhan highly enough.
The small setting works well for Farrah and everybody knows the children by name. What a fabulous school and its staff are outstanding.
10/10 from us 😊"

"Our children have been very happy at RVIPS and have flourished socially and academically. The teachers are caring, dedicated and committed and always responsive to parental input. There is a real sense of community where all staff and children know each other across the whole school. We feel very lucky to have such a great integrated school in Limavady."

Primary 1 Parent/Guardian

"My son is in primary one. From the moment he was accepted into the school we as parents have felt very welcome and informed. Even though COVID restrictions were in place the school ensured my son had an excellent induction process and this meant he settled very quickly. The class teacher and classroom assistant are both so approachable and it is clear that they are deeply about each child. From the settling in phone call it was clear that Mrs Boyd was aware of all of my child's strengths and areas where he needed support. Ray has really flourished in Rvips. I am so happy he is there. Thank you."

Primary 3 Parent/Guardian

"It is said that it takes a village and RVIPS is the village and environment that I highly recommend for any child. My child loves going to school he hates to miss it. All the staff from Mrs McDonagh, teachers, classroom assistant, office staff to Sammy the lollipop man only add to the personal touch you and your child will receive at this school. No issue or concern is too big or too small to be heard and resolutions found to ensure your child as an individual flourishes within the RVIPS village."
