This is Sligo Grammar School, a church of Ireland co-educational boarding and day school situated in the heart of Sligo Town, on the banks of the Garavogue River, a stone`s throw from Lough Gill and Yeats` Lake Isle of Inisfree. The setting beautifully combines the easy pace of country life with the buzz of a small but vibrantly cultural urban center.
The school takes full advantage of all of the beautiful North West coast has to offer. As well as going on field trips to experience the history, geography and ecology of the area, students are encouraged to make use of the river, lake and ocean through timetabled and extra curricular activities. We have a kayaking and a rowing club, while surfing is part of our TY programme. Other sports offered include rugby, hockey, soccer, basketball and athletics.
Sligo Grammar School offers over 20 subjects at Leaving Certificate level. Students consistently achieve excellent academic results. In 2018 over 60% of our students were offered University places both at home and abroad.
Sligo`s rich cultural heritage is reflected in extra curricular activities such as debating and public speaking, music, choir, chess and evening trips to the theatre. Throughout the year lunchtime concerts, public debates, the school musical and focus events such as Wellbeing week and Seachtain na Gaeilge allow our students to develop their skills and from emotionally and intellectually.
