St Egney’s National School, Desertegney<\/h2>\n
\n

Mission statement<\/h3>\n

We, at St. Egney’s National School, work together, as a community of learners, in a safe, caring and inclusive environment, where each individual is respected, valued and cherished and encouraged to be the best that they can be.<\/p>\n

St.Egney’s N.S. is a mixed school catering for girls and boys between the ages of four and thirteen (Junior Infants to Sixth Class), with a current enrolment of 91 pupils.<\/p>\n

History<\/h3>\n

The current school building was officially opened by His Lordship, Dr, Seamus Hegarty, Bishop of Derry on October 20th, 2005. Between the years 1988 and 2005, St. Egney’s consisted of two classrooms in the main school building and several pre-fabricated classrooms. Prior to this, the schol campus was split between Infants, First and Second classes in the original school building, built in 1956, and the hall across the road which served as classrooms for Third, fourth, Fifth and Sixth classes. Prefabs were added periodically, until eventually all pupils were being taught within the walls of the current school building.<\/p>\n
