“Key links between Ulster University and Ballysally Primary School have been forged in recent years with campus facilities being opened to pupils to enhance their academic, physical and wellbeing needs. University staff have been involved in creative, fun and challenging pupil and parent experiences within the school setting.

In a post covid-19 world, we would very much hope to take further strategic steps to promote the culture of holistic life-long learning which benefits society in a multiplicity of ways.”
