150-year-old school in Northern Ireland closes its doors

For pupils across Northern Ireland, thoughts are turning to packing their school bags, closing their books and the long summer holidays ahead. But for the boys and girls in a rural primary school in County Down, when the home time bell rings on Friday, it will be for the final time. Drumaghlis Primary, one of the last remaining Presbyterian schools in the north, is closing its doors after more than 150 years in the Crossgar area. With only 32 children left on the roll, it has been decided it no longer makes financial sense to keep it open. Seven-year-old pupil Mark Savage said, "I'll miss the garden and roaming around. I'll also miss the people and the peace and quiet. I would have preferred it if we all could have stayed together." Read more about the school at BBC News.
