School Details
About
St John’s National School is a small, two‑teacher, co‑educational primary school situated on Ballinalee Road in Edgeworthstown, County Longford. Operating under the patronage of the Church of Ireland Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh, the school welcomes children from Junior Infants through to Sixth Class, irrespective of faith or background. The intimate setting allows for personalised attention and a close‑knit community atmosphere, fostering strong relationships between pupils, staff and families. The curriculum is delivered within a supportive, inclusive framework that encourages both academic progress and personal development. St John’s supplements classroom learning with a range of extracurricular activities, including locally‑organised art workshops – such as the recent “One Mystery, One Town” session led by artist Sophie Carroll‑Hunt – and swimming lessons, reflecting a commitment to broadening pupils’ creative and physical experiences. Regular updates on events and news demonstrate an active engagement with the wider community and a focus on providing a well‑rounded education.
