About

Drumgallagh National School is a small rural primary school serving the Ballycroy Parish community. The school places a strong emphasis on holistic development, offering a variety of extracurricular activities that complement the core curriculum. Recent initiatives include a knitting project in the senior room, where pupils collaborated to produce a blanket, and an art competition that rewarded winners with goodie bags and book vouchers. These programmes are designed to enhance fine‑motor skills, concentration, creativity and social cohesion. The school also encourages active participation in sport and cultural events. A notable achievement was the Sports Quiz team securing third place in the Erris Sports Quiz after a tightly contested tie‑break. Seasonal celebrations such as the Christmas Walk, accompanied by hot chocolate and treats, foster a sense of community and tradition. Regular blog updates highlight these activities, reflecting the school’s commitment to transparent communication with families and the wider parish.
