Principal’s Welcome

As Principal, on behalf of the hardworking and dedicated staff and Board of Management of Errigal College, I am delighted to welcome you to our school website and invite you to explore the world of Errigal College.

This website offers just a glimpse into life at our school, the vibrant energy, the strong sense of community, and the wide range of opportunities we provide. From academic excellence to creative expression, from sports to music, from individual pursuits to team activities, Errigal College is a place where every student can discover their talents and develop them to the fullest.

At Errigal College, everything we do is guided by our core values of Excellence in Education, Care, Equality, Respect, and Community. These values shape every decision we make and every policy we implement, ensuring that our students are always at the heart of what we do. We are proud of our tradition of students, teachers, and parents working together to help young people reach their full potential, and we place strong emphasis on the care, wellbeing, and personal growth of every student.

Our dedicated and committed staff go above and beyond to support students, offering not only outstanding teaching but also encouragement, guidance, and pastoral care. We believe in providing opportunities beyond the classroom too, with a rich programme of extracurricular activities that helps our students develop skills, friendships, and confidence. Our many successes in STEM, the arts, and sport are a testament to the talent and determination of our students and staff.

You will be challenged and supported at Errigal College, with every opportunity to achieve academically and personally. Our new purpose-built facilities, enhanced by a government-approved multi-million-euro expansion, ensure that students learn in a modern, state-of-the-art environment designed for success.

Secondary school is a time to be embraced and enjoyed. At Errigal College, friendships are made, bonds are formed, and doors to future opportunities are opened. It is my sincere wish that every student leaves here as a confident, capable, and happy individual, ready to thrive in further education, in the workplace, and in life.

Of course, no website can replace the experience of visiting our school. I warmly encourage you to contact us and visit Errigal College in person, to experience first-hand the welcoming atmosphere and spirit of community that make our school so special.
