Construction is progressing well on the new Mary Queen of Peace Primary School, designed by Hamilton Architects and being delivered by Woodvale Construction Ltd.

The development will bring together St Mary’s of Cargan and Glenravel Primary School, Martinstown, in a purpose-built nine-classroom facility supporting 250 pupils and staff.

External wall construction has now reached roof level across much of the school, with roof structures and coverings well advanced. Works are also progressing across the wider site, including retaining walls, perimeter fencing and external groundworks.

Thoughtfully designed teaching and resource areas, together with varied outdoor play spaces, will create a welcoming environment that supports children’s learning, wellbeing and development.

Alongside progress on site, the school has begun fundraising for additional playing facilities, including a proposed small 4G pitch for school and community use following the move.

Hamilton Architects was proud to sponsor MQP Takes on Bullseye, held on Friday 6 November. The evening brought together the local community for darts, music and entertainment, with proceeds supporting the school’s plans to enhance outdoor provision.

The new school remains on course for anticipated completion in summer 2027, marking an exciting next chapter for pupils, staff and the wider school community.
