Welcome to Ballyneale NS

Welcome from the Principal

Fáilte romhaibh go dtí Scoil Náisiúnta Bhaile Uí Néill.

We have a very dedicated staff who are committed to the welfare of our pupils.  We endeavour to provide a holistic education to our pupils where they feel valued and cherished.  We aim to enhance the learning outcomes of all and provide our pupils with opportunities to learn, grow and have fun in school while learning.

We are extremely lucky with the positive support we get from parents who assist us with many of our in-school and extra-curricular activities such as swimming, gardening, G.A.A., soccer, athletics, spikeball, knitting, chess and school maintenance.

We are very fortunate to work in a community which has a very high regard for its school.  Assistance is also given to the school by the people of Ballyneale.  They readily and willingly support our fundraising events, and help with the general upkeep of the school.

It is our belief that education is about providing a safe and happy learning environment where each child can reach his or her full potential in all aspects of the curriculum.

I hope you enjoy navigating our school website and that it provides you with an insight into what life is like for the whole school community of Ballyneale N.S.

Cathal Dooley,
