About
Aglish National School is a co‑educational primary school serving the local community and preparing children for the early years of formal education. The school follows the Irish national curriculum, placing a strong emphasis on holistic development through a balanced programme of literacy, numeracy, creative arts and physical education. Recent initiatives highlight a commitment to environmental stewardship, evidenced by the award of the 12th Green Flag for the school’s whole‑community approach to sustainability. This accolade reflects integrated projects that teach pupils about global ecological issues and encourage practical actions such as recycling, gardening and outdoor learning. The school’s facilities support a vibrant, hands‑on learning environment. Dedicated junior classrooms are equipped for interactive lessons, while outdoor spaces are used for activities ranging from balance‑bike sessions to nature‑based projects. Participation in programmes such as the “Incredible Edibles” initiative and the DPSM Science Award demonstrates a focus on experiential learning, particularly in science, food education and healthy living. The school also celebrates community involvement through events like visits from local sports teams and collaborations with the post office, fostering strong links between pupils, families and the wider area.
