The Glebe National School

About

The Glebe National School is a small, two‑teacher, co‑educational primary school situated in the historic village of Aughrim, just 5 km from Ballinasloe in County Galway. Operating under the patronage of the Church of Ireland, the school embraces an inclusive ethos that respects all religions while maintaining its own spiritual tradition. It offers a low pupil‑to‑teacher ratio, spacious classrooms and modern, high‑tech IT facilities, creating an environment where each child can receive personalised attention and develop confidence in both traditional and digital learning. The school’s child‑centred approach is reflected in its mission to provide a happy, caring and stimulating setting that nurtures the social, academic, moral, spiritual, physical, aesthetic and emotional development of every pupil. Extra‑curricular provision includes gardening and a range of green‑school initiatives such as Active Schools Week and Walk‑to‑School programmes. Strong partnerships with parents and the local community are valued, and the school is committed to supporting children with special educational needs and promoting the use of the Irish language in daily school life.
