“We were delighted that many past pupils, parents and governors were able to attend,” said the principal of the school Kendra Bolton.

“The children thoroughly enjoyed the 80’s style disco in the afternoon. This event followed the 80th Birthday Bash which was held in Killymoon golf club in February.

Ms Bolton added: “ I am delighted to be appointed the new principal of Stewartstown Primary School during a very special and momentous year for the school and the community.
