Mission Statement.

Aghamore National School is a school where each individual pupil is made to feel that they belong to a community which.

1. Promotes the development of self-discipline

2. Encourages each child to recognise their potential

3. Help all children to  acquire a good self-image

 

While the school acknowledges the importance of academic excellence, it strives to contribute to all aspects of each pupil’s development – spiritual, emotional, social, cultural and moral.

 

The school takes account of the changing social and economic conditions of our country and nurtures in each pupil those attitudes and skills which enable them to cope.  It endeavours to foster attitudes and skills to enable positive use of leisure time now and later.  It encourages an attitude of responsibility and care for planet earth as well as an attitude of practical concern for the local environment.

 

While the school acknowledges that all are equal in the sight of God, Aghamore National School holds a special regard for the poor and less privileged.  It will grant every possible assistance to those who are materially poor and strive to diminish any consequence disadvantage and will show special kindness to pupils who may be emotionally deprived through the loss of parent or through family breakdown.

 

The school recognises the important role parents and clergy in the development of the pupils and it welcomes them as partners in achieving what is best for all pupils.
