The Glenarm school won a Gold Star Award for outstanding contributions to education and in particular for transitioning to integrated status.

“Mrs Moran was a proud runner-up finalist for Best Teacher Award,” the school said. “We all had a great time and danced into the small hours of Sunday morning.

“Finally, thanks to all those people who voted for us and for treasuring Seaview IPS as a community school for all pupils in the locality.”

The school made history last year when it became the first Catholic primary in Northern Ireland to change to integrated status.

The move was approved by the Department of Education after being backed by 95 percent of parents.
