About
Killygordon National School is a small, vibrant primary school in County Donegal, catering for roughly 20‑25 pupils. With only two teachers, the school offers very small class sizes that allow for personalised attention and strong, supportive relationships between staff and learners. The curriculum follows the full Irish primary syllabus and is enriched by specialist sessions in activities such as football, badminton, drumming and ukulele, providing a well‑rounded educational experience. The school boasts a range of dedicated facilities designed to meet diverse learning needs. These include a purpose‑built sensory room, a spacious school yard with a herb garden, swings, a playground and even a small flock of school chickens, all of which contribute to a stimulating and inclusive environment. Each child receives a free hot meal each day, promoting health and readiness to learn. Recent investment has also brought high‑speed broadband connectivity through the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme, supporting modern teaching and digital learning.
