A message from our principal
A warm welcome to Ballygiblin
Welcome to Ballygiblin National School. I came here because I wanted to help shape a school where every child is known, included and given the chance to take part. That remains at the heart of what we do.
“Small School – Big Opportunities” captures what I see here: a close-knit community, committed staff and children with many different strengths and interests. We work in partnership with families to help each child feel they belong, make progress and find opportunities to shine.
I’m proud to lead Ballygiblin and grateful for the welcome I’ve received from our pupils, families, staff and wider community. I hope you’ll find a sense of that community as you explore our website.
