Ballagh National School

About

Ballagh National School is a Catholic co‑educational primary school situated in Kilrooskey, County Roscommon. The school’s ethos is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, guided by the patronage of the Bishop of Elphin and a motto that encourages pupils to “treat others as you would like them to treat you.” Its mission is to provide a safe, happy, healthy and welcoming environment where every child can develop their full potential across intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual dimensions. The school places a strong emphasis on community involvement and holistic learning. Recent initiatives include a Green Schools programme centred on Global Citizenship and the Marine Environment, encouraging students to explore ocean biodiversity and take action against marine litter. A vibrant sporting culture is evident through successes in GAA, tag‑rugby, soccer and other team activities. The school actively engages families with open evenings, an annual admission notice, and a range of parent resources, supporting a collaborative and inclusive educational experience.
