General Information
The school is located in the townland of Tattyreagh, approximately half way between Omagh and Fintona, and enjoys a spacious layout with a tarred play area for both infants and older pupils and a grass football pitch along with lawns to the front and rear of the school. There are a range of outdoor education provisions on site, including trails and areas for outdoor exploration.
Alongside our classrooms, we have a library, several additional rooms to support withdrawal and small group sessions, and a P.E./dining hall. Each class is equipped with modern interactive Smartboard and the teaching resources necessary for delivering a modern and balanced curriculum. A friendly, caring atmosphere pervades the school and the entire staff and governors are committed to ensuring the highest possible educational standards and provision for the pupils.
Strong links with parents and the wider Tattyreagh community have been developed over the years and are one of the great strengths of our school. A Parents’ Association has been in operation for many years and they organise a variety of activities and events throughout the school year to provide invaluable extra resources for the pupils and school. All parents are welcome to attend any of their meetings and are encouraged to become actively involved in the planned events throughout the year.
Aims of the School
In order to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for every pupil in a safe, caring, secure and stimulating environment, we aim:
- to develop good relationships within both the classroom and school
- to value pupils, staff and parents as individuals and ensure that they are treated with dignity and respect
- to co-operate with the home, the parish and the wider community in the promotion of good behaviour, community ethos and self-discipline
- to foster in the children responsible attitudes and values so that they may become prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of adolescent and adult life
- to encourage the Catholic ethos of the school so that the moral and religious development of each child is fully realised
- to present the children with a stimulating and imaginative environment both inside and outside the classroom so that learning, success and personal satisfaction for themselves are achieved
Of paramount importance in achieving these aims, is the continued development of mutual trust and the building and fostering of good relationships at every level.
