About

Frosses National School is a Roman Catholic primary school situated in the village of Frosses, County Donegal. The school occupies a spacious, modern building constructed in 1990 and fully refurbished with a new extension in 2008. It offers four large, bright classrooms that are well‑equipped with IQ Touch interactive whiteboards, a fully stocked library in each room and ten bench‑top computers per classroom, providing a technology‑rich learning environment. Two generous playgrounds cater separately for junior and senior pupils, and the premises include a staff room, principal’s office and secretary’s office, supporting smooth day‑to‑day operation. The school’s educational philosophy is grounded in the Catholic ethos and aims to nurture the intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual development of every child. A strong emphasis is placed on inclusive practice, with dedicated special‑education provision and a commitment to safeguarding, discipline and anti‑bullying policies. A wide range of extra‑curricular activities—including sport, music, quiz competitions and community projects—encourages pupil voice, teamwork and a love of lifelong learning. Breakfast club and after‑school services further support families, while the school’s vibrant community spirit is reflected in regular assemblies, environmental initiatives and active parental involvement.

History

The current school building was erected in 1990 and underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2008 when a new extension was added, expanding the capacity and modernising the facilities for contemporary teaching and learning.
