Principal’s Message

Fáilte romhaibh go suíomh Scoil Baile Shíoda.

Ballyheada NS is a rural co-educational Catholic, primary school located 20 mins outside Cork City. Ballyheada is a school which strives to provide a happy, friendly, caring environment, where children feel secure and valued. Children are encouraged to develop self-discipline and mutual respect for each other and for all adults in an atmosphere that promotes learning and excellence, enabling children to fulfill their true potential.

We are proud of our school community; our teachers, our Special Needs Assistants, our pupils and our parents all of whom cooperate to create a school that is inclusive and caring. Parents and visitors are welcomed into our school and their participation is sought across the school in a partnership that enhances the children’s education, welfare and social awareness. Our vibrant Parents’ Association enriches the life of the school through their involvement.

We are committed to meeting the educational and developmental needs of the children under our guidance, through excellent facilities and a dedicated and professional staff. Our school is a happy, welcoming, child-centred and progressive school. We are a school with a Catholic ethos, and we practice these Christian values by welcoming pupils of other religions and those of no religion.
