Ministers in Birches PS visit
The First Minister said, “Fifty years ago to this day the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Captain Terence O’Neill, was here to open this school so I am particularly honoured to be here today as First Minister to celebrate this very special golden anniversary with you.
“Birches Primary School has grown steadily over the years and is a fantastic example of how education, friendship and fun can enrich the lives of pupils who make this school an integral part of the community.
