Welcome to Sligo Grammar School

Welcome to Sligo Grammar School’s website. The keystones to the school’s success include respect, trust, co-operation, participation, consultation, collaboration and teamwork. Our enthusiastic and dedicated staff place great emphasis on the holistic approach. Such efforts are channeled so that our pupils develop characteristics of being good, reliable citizens, fit to take their place in society. Together with a fine tradition of sport and community involvement, the school offers a wide range of activities to ensure the personal and social development of the whole child.

 

Our Mission Statement

Christmas Food Appeal in aid of Sligo Social Services

Sligo Grammar School is organising its annual Christmas Food Appeal in aid of Sligo Social Services. Donations can be brought to the foyer, where a space has been cleared. Donations can be brought in from the 29th of November to the 13th of December. All students are encouraged to bring what they can. Non perishable food items are ideal for the appeal. Sligo Social Services provides vital services for individuals, families and communities in the Sligo region, especially during the Christmas season when they may feel isolated.
