We accept children from the designated catchment area, at the beginning of the school year in which they celebrate their fifth birthday. Children remain at Ballaquayle for three years and then transfer to Murray’s Road Junior School. There are currently 165 pupils on roll.

The school building, which was constructed in 1969, is of semi open plan design. Although the school has an urban location, it overlooks beautiful scenery to the West. There are substantial grassed areas around the school as well as two playgrounds and a school field.
