Mission Statement and Ethos

Ballinderreen N.S. is a co-educational, Catholic, primary school, which strives to provide a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupils are identified and addressed.

While Ballinderreen N.S. is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also has due recognition for all other religions.

Ballinderreen N.S. will strive to promote, both individually and collectively, the professional and personal development of teachers through staff development programmes.

We acknowledge that education is a partnership and we endeavour to maintain strong links with parents and see them as the primary educators of their children.

We value a spirit of co-operation and a happy learning environment and welcome partnership with the wider community.

Ballinderreen N.S. will endeavour to enhance the self-esteem of everyone in the school community, to imbue in the pupils respect for people and property and to encourage in them the idea of being responsible.

Ballinderreen N.S. will promote gender equity amongst the teachers and pupils.
