Dear parent / guardian / visitor

Fáilte romhaibh go léir. On behalf of the Ballinlough school community, I am delighted to introduce Ballinlough N.S. to you through our new website, to give you a glimpse into the spirit, ethos, pride, activities, and talents of the pupils in Ballinlough N.S. I hope you find the information here useful. We are very proud of our vibrant school community. This website will provide a snapshot of our wonderful school which I hope reflects the warm learning environment which exists in Ballinlough NS . We are a mixed catholic school situated in the village of Ballinlough on the outskirts of Kells, Co Meath.

Our vision is to develop a caring school environment where our pupils are happy & confident, acquiring an enthusiasm for learning where each child is encouraged to achieve their full academic, physical, social, spiritual, moral, and emotional potential. Ballinlough NS fosters inclusiveness, spirituality, individuality, difference, and the development of all our talents. At the centre of every thriving school is its outstanding staff and Ballinlough NS is no exception. We are committed to promoting high standards of education within a happy, caring environment. We pride ourselves on the atmosphere of mutual respect and an expectation of the highest standards of behaviour, of work ethic and of personal achievement. Our team strive to allow each student to become the very best that they wish to be, while empowering them to meet the challenges of education and of life. Learning for our pupils is about the acquisition of skills, knowledge and understanding as well as building positive attitudes and self-esteem. We believe that a broad, balanced, educational experience will allow our pupils to reach their full potential. Our other school partners – an active Parents’ Association, a dedicated Board of Management and supportive Patron – all strive to provide the very best educational experience for our pupils and demonstrate a huge commitment to the education and wellbeing of all our students. Our aim is that our pupils grow into responsible, confident young adults and of course with many happy memories of their time here in Ballinlough N.S.

We greatly appreciate that parents have and continue to entrust their children to our care here in Ballinlough NS, it is the greatest privilege that they could ever afford us. We appreciate your interest in our school and invite you to contact us if you would like to learn more about our wonderful school.

Is mise,
