Your School Your Club is an initiative to help promote community use of school sports facilities. The opening of the school sports estate to community and club use will have a major impact on the provision of sports facilities throughout Northern Ireland.

Your School Your Club seeks to develop strategic partnerships in order to revitalise existing sports facilities or to develop new/additional provision. The Your School Your Club Steering Group is governed by the Department for Communities (DfC); current membership includes DfC, Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), District Councils, Department for Education (DE), Education Authority (EA) and Sport Northern Ireland.

The project at St Mary’s Primary School Maghera was to upgrade their natural turf training pitch to a 65m x 35m 3g synthetic surface with floodlights and fencing.

The project was driven by the schools already well-established links with their local GAA club and as a result they provided partnership funding for the project. As an anchor tenant for this facility, it would be guaranteed continued use by their youth teams.
