Welcome to our school. I am very proud to be the principal of Ballinakill NS, which is a wonderful, inclusive, caring and active school.

Our aim in Ballinakill N.S. is to promote a positive attitude towards learning by providing a broad and balanced educational experience in a learning environment where everyone feels safe, valued and respected. We strive to establish a fully inclusive, child-centred approach, which encourages life-long learners who are confident and resilient. We have a wonderful, dedicated staff who work collaboratively and effectively to achieve these goals.

We seek to promote a positive culture in our school and emphasis is placed on kindness, respect and trust among all in our school community. We aim to provide each child in our care with a rich, holistic educational experience which helps them achieve their full potential.

I hope you will find our website useful and informative.
