Welcome

We extend a warm welcome to you and your child. It is our aim that your child will be extremely happy in our school and will achieve his/her full potential. There is a strong sense of community and a high level of cooperation between staff, pupils and parents.The school is located on the main N63 just 2 miles outside the village of Ballygar, Co. Galway. Ballaghlea N.S. is a five teacher school with two SET teachers, a shared SET teacher, two special needs assisants and a secretary. We have a large student population of 101 students. All children are encouraged to participate in sport, music, gardening and visual arts. Over the years our school has been awarded ten Green Flags. This year we have participated in the Discover Science Programme, Maths Week and My Write a Book Competition.

We hope that, through our website, we will give a glimpse of our busy and varied life here at Ballaghlea National School.
