Abbots Cross Primary School, Newtownabbey

Update - Storm Chandra

26th Jan 2026
📣Update - Storm Chandra At this point in time our plan is that Abbots Cross Primary will open tomorrow. Like all schools, the Education Authority have asked us to monitor local conditions and make decisions based on the safety of pupils and staff. We will closely monitor the situation tonight and inspect our school grounds first thing in the morning. Please have childcare cover in place, should we need to close the school at short notice. Keep a watchful eye on our Facebook page for any further updates. We appreciate that a school closure presents issues for families and we would not take such a decision lightly. If a decision is made to close tonight or tomorrow- you will be informed as soon as possible. 💙💛
