Largy Parents Association:
education. It allows you to connect with other parents and share experiences, resources, support
and build lasting relationships. Your voice matters and joining the Parents Association will make a
difference in our school. Everyone is welcome to get involved and come to the meetings held
regularly in the school.
Our intention is to help the school be the best it can be through active fundraising and participation
by organising exciting events and activities that bring both school families and the local community
together.
Previous events have been a Funday that has ran for many years and was supported by the wider
community, cake sales and sponsored walks. All have raised much needed funds for various activities
and events that the children have benefitted from.
We advocate for important issues affecting our school and community and will work with the school
leaders to ensure the best for our children.
We have a committee elected yearly consisting of a chairperson, secretary and treasurer all agreed
on by the parents themselves.
Are you passionate about your child's education and eager to make a difference? Join our Parent
Association and be a part of a vibrant community dedicated to enriching our school's environment.
Together, we can make a difference!

Largy National School - today:
Today Largy School is a very fine school set in a rural location overlooking Glenade Valley, a little outside the town of Manorhamilton. The children enjoy expansive outdoor playing areas, including a willow maze, tarmac-ed yard and astroturfed playground marked for football, basketball, etc., and runnning track, and a grassed football field.
Largy National School - a history:
The original Largy School was built in the 1880s and closed in the 1940s when the current building was completed. The old school was a one classroom school, as was a number of its smaller country school neighbours.
It has no playground, with the children playing out on the road in front of the school - boys to the left and girls to the right. You can imagine Health and Safety agreeing to that these days!
With constantly falling roll numbers in the 1940s the opportunity was taken to build a bigger, new school, in the Glebe townland, and amalgamate the schools of Largy and Lecknarainey but retaining the name Largy School. The new building consisted of a two room school and with an adjoining playground. A real treat for its then pupils.
Initially with two teachers, at its peak Largy school had 60 children on its roll book however the pupil population in the area continued to deteriorate and by the 1950s this had been reduced to one. Over subsequent years with further amalgamations of Brackarybeg, Killasnet and finally Kilroosk, the school regained its two teacher status.
