In February 2004 the school secured a New Opportunities Fund lottery grant of £20,000 to upgrade sports facilities for pupils and the wider community. The grant was awarded under the Fund's PE and Sport programme to transform sporting facilities in schools and the wider community across Northern Ireland. The grant was used to build a PE store, allowing the school to offer more activities to pupils and longer PE lessons.

[edit] School inspection, 2000

A Department of Education (Northern Ireland) inspection in November 1999 highlighted the happy, friendly atmosphere in the school, the excellent pupil behaviour, the bright and stimulating environment and the strong community spirit. It was noted that a particular feature of the school was the close links established with the local and wider community. The standard of teaching was found to be consistently good and often excellent and overall the school was regarded as providing very good quality education.
