About
Scoil Naisiunta Tulach Aluinn is a vibrant co‑educational national school situated in the rural village of Tullyallen, near Drogheda in County Louth. The school provides primary education from Junior Infants through to 4th Class, including a dedicated LEAP (Learning, Exploration, Achievement, Participation) programme that offers flexible, child‑centred learning environments often referred to as “rainbow rooms”. Its curriculum blends the Irish national framework with a strong Catholic ethos, encouraging spiritual development alongside academic achievement. The school places a particular emphasis on creative problem‑solving and numeracy, as highlighted by recent “Maths Fun” activities, and promotes community engagement through projects such as stamp‑collecting drives for the Medical Missionaries of Mary. The school’s facilities support a broad range of experiences: well‑equipped classrooms, specialist areas for music and art, and outdoor spaces that facilitate physical education and environmental learning. Regular events – from St Brigid’s Day celebrations to Safer Internet Day – foster a sense of belonging and cultural awareness. Communication with families is maintained through an up‑to‑date website, a school padlet, and active use of social media, ensuring that parents are informed of news, photographs, and upcoming activities.
