If you are a parent I hope that our school blog will enable you to keep up to date with our busy calendar and gain a greater understanding of the work we do in the school. If you are a visitor then the site should give you a glimpse of what is a very happy and successful school.
In addition to the information and resources provided in this school blog, many other facets of the school celebrate our success. These achievements are down to the quality of our staff together with the high level of support we enjoy from parents, committee members and the wider community.
We hope you find our blog informative. If you believe it can be improved in any way we would be delighted to receive your comments.
We have high expectations for all our children at Sacred Heart Primary School Granard . We want our pupils to be happy and successful and we are committed to giving every individual child a chance to develop their talents, whatever they may be. We are determined to help children achieve whether they are academic high flyers or those in need of a little more support.
At the same time we offer opportunities for everyone to participate, and perhaps excel, in a diverse range of after- school activities. We believe that learning should be fun and children are happy when gaining success in a secure and reassuring environment. We recognise and value the important role that parents play and see effective education as a partnership between home and school. Our aim is to help the children in our care become self-confident and independent individuals who respect all members of our school community and recognise their growing responsibilities as citizens.
