Welcome to Glenbrohane National School

 

Glenbrohane Ntional School Crest

Glenbrohane N.S. is a rural based school.  Our current enrolment is 77 pupils.  This has been growing steadily over the last number of years. However we consider ourselves a small school and strive to look after the individual needs of each child. We accept the diversity among children.  We encourage children to co-operate and look after each other. We also stress the importance of the school in the community of Glenbrohane but also in nearby communities. We  promote physical and emotional health and well-being.  We encourage the children to participate in activities in P.E., Art, Drama to develop their self-esteem but also at their own level.
