Grange Fermoy National School

About

Grange National School is a Catholic, co‑educational primary school situated in Grange, Fermoy, County Cork. Operating under the patronage of the Bishop of Cloyne, the school provides a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for children from junior to senior classes. Its ethos centres on mutual respect, kindness and peer support, encouraging each pupil to reach their full potential in a safe and supportive setting. The school benefits from a range of facilities that enhance both academic and extracurricular learning. A well‑maintained playground is complemented by a planned acquisition of an adjacent sports pitch, currently being funded through a community‑led campaign. Additional resources include a dedicated homework club operating after school hours, a wellness programme run by the “Wellness Warriors” student council, and regular cultural activities such as Irish dancing, concerts and community visits. These provisions aim to foster holistic development, promoting physical health, social wellbeing and cultural appreciation alongside the core curriculum. Grange National School also places strong emphasis on parental involvement and community partnership. The Parents’ Association organises events and supports fundraising initiatives, while the school’s support and care framework ensures that individual learning needs are met through a team of specialist assistants and support staff. This collaborative approach underpins the school’s commitment to nurturing confident, respectful and well‑rounded learners.
