Dear Parents, Prospective Parents and Members of our Local Community,

Earlier this year, we published the results of the Department of Education Primary School Survey for Glencorrib NS and invited members of our wider community to share their views.

Our parental survey results on school patronage were very close, with 47% of parents in favour of changing patronage and 53% in favour of remaining under Catholic patronage.

As part of the next stage of this process, the Department of Education has asked us to hold a community meeting to gather the views of our wider school community. This will take place in the school on Tuesday 29th September from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

This is an important opportunity for members of our school community to have their say, whether their preference is to remain under Catholic patronage or to change patronage. All views are welcome and will be considered before the Board of Management makes its final decision in October.

We strongly encourage anyone with an interest in the future patronage of our school to attend and make their views known.

Kind Regards,

Orna Friel
Príomhoide. 

To protect our pupils’ privacy and wellbeing, we no longer share photographs of students on our public website. In light of evolving digital technologies, including developments in artificial intelligence, and in keeping with best practice in child safeguarding, we are mindful of how children’s images are shared online.

However, photographs and updates from school life are shared directly and securely with parents through our private digital communication platform. This ensures families remain closely connected to their child’s learning and experiences in a safe and secure way.

If you would like to learn more about the many wonderful activities taking place in our school, we hold an Open Evening each October for enrolment for the following school year. The date is announced on our website, in the church newsletter, and on signage outside the school.

If your family is moving into the area during the school year, please feel free to contact us on 093 31415 or at glencorribns@gmail.com to arrange a visit. We would be delighted to welcome you.
