Every village requires a school and the Jubilee National School was a central pivot in the village. It was situated on the corner of Sandown Road, Upper Newtownards Road on the Dundonald side. The school was used for various activities and in 1893, the Rev. James Tolland (F.S.A.) the first minister of Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church, came to Ballyhackamore and conducted services in the Jubilee School. These services continued in the school until 1908 when they moved to larger premises, known as the “Iron Church”, which was on the present church site on the Upper Newtownards Road. The present church was officially opened and dedicated on the 1st July 1914 with 175 families connected to the congregation.
