Huge thanks to our Parents’ Association for all their hard work and fundraising efforts. The Parents’ Association donated €4,100 to the school – the proceeds of their Race Night. This money will make a massive difference to the school this year and we are extremely grateful.

A big thank you also to Longford Variety group for their donation of €1,000.

Our Internet Acceptable Use policy has been updated and is available to view on our website. We strongly encourage all parents to take internet/online safety seriously and look at resources such as Webwise to keep informed.

Also on our website is our Safe Routes to School Outline Delivery Plan. This plan is the result of a lot of time and work by the school and Longford County Council and its implementation (hopefully in Summer 2025) should make a huge difference in terms of safety for children accessing the school, especially on foot or bike. It will also enhance and improve access to the village as a whole.

Bí Cineálta is a new Department of Education initiative to prevent and address bullying and promote good behaviour in schools. Staff will engage in Bí Cineálta training on March 03 (school closes for all at 1:50pm) and March 18 (school closes for all at 12noon). The new Procedures are available to view on:  https://assets.gov.ie/296487/d0ea26bc-5b6c-45f3-b0fd-2f3e2d3c1f07.pdf

We have applied for the Schools Solar Panel Scheme and hope that this will be approved in the coming weeks.

Enrolment for the school year 2025-6 has now closed and our enrolment process is complete.

The Board of Management appreciates the hard work of the whole school community which ensures that the school continues to be a happy and safe place.
