Errigal College parents are proactive in the life of the school and in their child’s education.
Their commitment to education and to Errigal College is evident in that parents are visibly present in the corridors, in the canteen, in the grounds, in the polytunnel, working constantly as part of the School Community Team. They are in tune with the ethos and mission statement of the school and their participation in school life is tangible and effective at every level.
Here are some of what our Parents have to say about Errigal College:
“I am so glad my son chose to go to Errigal College. From the day he started there he hasn't looked back. He was given all the help and resources he needed to reach his full potential. All the teachers, resource teachers, and SNA’s have helped bring him on.”

“Errigal College has a great team of staff and always makes sure that every individual student's needs are met. I truly can say no matter what Ethnic minority group students are from, they are not treated any differently.”

“Errigal College is a school that's inclusive to all students and not just students that are academically driven.”

“My experience has been nothing but positive from the first day my oldest son started in Errigal College, all staff are friendly and very approachable.
I became a member of the Parents Association a couple of years ago and this has opened up a lot of connections within the school community. The school is also providing courses for us, the parents of the students, which I find extremely beneficial.”

“As a parent, I am so happy about my decision to send my child to Errigal College. For me, Education is so much more than just a sole focus on the academic side of life. It is just as important to equip our youth with the necessary skills that they will require later in life, and Errigal College is helping my child to excel in both. I can say first hand that Errigal College genuinely cares about the wellbeing of its pupils and it is constantly encouraging them to achieve their true potential.”

“Since my son has started at Errigal College, he has truly developed in every way. He is happy, feels known, and feels he is understood by all the staff. His difficulties do not define him and all the staff see him for who he truly is. I am thrilled that my son and his academic and personal development is in the hands of Errigal College.”

“Our son started Errigal college in August this year. The school has been more than welcoming to him and so informative. We received lots of information about the school and staff in the prospectus together with the school timetable, book rental scheme and induction week, everything required to ensure his start with them went smoothly. It usually takes our son until Halloween to settle into Primary School every year but he settled into Errigal College within 2 weeks. Their induction program for the first years is excellent, providing great opportunities for the kids to meet new friends and get to know the school grounds and layout. The staff are extremely dedicated and the lines of communication are very open between parents and staff members. They are very approachable and no issue is too small or big. Any worries or concerns we had in the first two weeks were resolved and responded to immediately. We know our son is in good hands and well looked after. He is happy everyday going to school and the dedication the staff have to ensure our son reaches his full potential whilst being happy is evident.”
