Bushmills Primary School believes that every child is entitled to enjoy his/her childhood.  They should be valued for their individuality, culture and heritage.  They should be encouraged to develop their full potential in a safe, stimulating and caring environment so that they can make their best contribution to society.  As a staff we seek to develop our children socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and academically and ensure they flourish in our care.

Our vision statement is ‘Building a Causeway to Success’.  We the staff along with parents and governors aim to encourage each and every child in all aspects of learning through these stepping stones to success:

• Working together as a team (TEAMWORK)
• Fostering an enthusiastic desire to succeed (ENTHUSIASM)
• Promoting self-confidence (CONFIDENCE)
• Fostering independent thinking and actions (INDEPENDENCE)
• Promoting both self-respect and respect for others (RESPECTFUL)
• Teaching the value of perseverance in all we do (PERSEVERANCE)
• Promoting logical, creative thinking and reflection (REFLECTION)
