Welcome to the website of St. Patrick’s National School Lurgybrack.

Our school is situated three miles outside Letterkenny on the main Sligo road. There are currently 429 pupils attending the school. The staff is made up of 31 teachers, 12 SNAs, our school secretary and caretaker.

Lurgybrack NS is a happy and welcoming place. All staff and pupils work together in an atmosphere of respect and encouragement. Our school has a purpose built Autism Centre called An Crann Óg where twelve pupils are taught by Mrs. Roisin Gardiner and Ms. Lauren Stewart.

Children attending our school are given opportunities to take part in many sporting activities e.g. GAA, soccer, rugby, basketball, athletics, etc. We have football and basketball courts, a hall and plenty of space where pupils can play. As well as sporting activities children take part in quizzes, chess, choir, art competitions and drama and music events.

Our school has a Roman Catholic ethos under the patronage of Bishop Niall Coll of Raphoe. Our ethos encourages respect and acceptance and as such does not tolerate bullying of any kind. The Green Flag programme has been in operation in the school for many years. We have been awarded seven Green Flags thus far. Our school was awarded the Active School Flag in 2015 and again in 2019. We have received numerous awards for our Science and Maths work within the school. These awards are recognition of dedication and excellent work which is carried out in our school every day.

We hope to make up-to-date information regarding school policies and information available on our website and our weekly activities can be found on our school facebook page titled Lurgybrack National School.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and please feel free to contact us with any comments, suggestions or questions you may have.
