Ballycroneen National School strives to create a positive learning environment for its pupils to thrive and reach their full potential. With this in mind Ballycroneen N.S. has a lot to offer your child. 

• We have a low pupil teacher ratio.

• We support the mental health of our students by taking part in meditations, mindfulness and wellbeing programmes.

• We foster an environment of mutual respect between students and staff.

• We focus on a holistic approach to learning to ensure each child meets their full potential, both socially and academically. 

• We celebrate many school events such as Active Schools Week, Maths Week, Science Week and Friendship Week.

• We take part in many school initiatives such as the Green Schools programme and the Digital Schools of Distinction Award.

• We use our local environment for varied teaching experiences e.g. Ballycroneen Beach.

• We provide specialised teachers for GAA and Gymnastics.

• We have an active and supportive Parents' Association.

• The school has top of the range facilities such as a school hall, fully stocked library, a sensory garden, raised vegetable beds for growing our own fruit and vegetables, a 'bug hotel' and an outdoor classroom.

• The school actively takes part in interschool events such as chess competitions, Sciath na Scol, the Cork City Sports and Sports days.

• We perform Christmas Shows and Christmas Carolling.

Home – School – Community links are very important to us.  There are so many occasions throughout the year – i.e. Grandparents’ Day; Friendship Fortnight; Daffodil Day etc. when parents and the wider community can get involved with school activities, and we very much welcome and encourage these occasions.
