Principal’s Address

Welcome.
At Grange Post Primary School, we are deeply aware that choosing a post-primary school is one of the most important decisions for any family. While subjects and syllabi may be similar across schools, it is the culture, values, and atmosphere that truly shape a student’s experience. Here in Grange, we pride ourselves on offering a holistic education founded on respect, justice, and self-esteem.

Every student is supported and encouraged to achieve their potential, both academically and personally.


We have a strong tradition of academic success, with consistently high results across all subject areas and excellent progression to third-level study, apprenticeships, and further training. This success is underpinned by our highly qualified and committed staff, who employ innovative, student-focused approaches to teaching and learning. We place a strong emphasis on higher-level attainment and provide the guidance, encouragement, and resources necessary for our students to excel.read more

Education at Grange PPS is about more than examinations. We are proud to provide a broad and balanced curriculum alongside a wide range of extra-curricular and cultural activities. From sport, music, and drama to enterprise, coding, and creative arts, our students are given opportunities to discover their talents, explore new interests, and develop the confidence and skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Wellbeing and care are central to our ethos. Through our pastoral structures, guidance counselling, and anti-bullying initiatives, we ensure that each student feels safe, valued, and supported. We are an inclusive school community that celebrates diversity and provides tailored support for students with additional needs, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Our facilities—including specialist classrooms, modern IT resources, a gym, astro turf pitch, and athletics track—create an excellent environment for learning and development. Combined with the dedication of our staff and the active involvement of parents, this allows us to prepare our students for a challenging and ever-changing world.

I invite you to explore this prospectus and see for yourself the opportunities that await at Grange Post Primary School. I am confident that your child will flourish here, growing into a confident, respectful, and capable individual, ready to make a positive contribution to society.
