Headfort School

This year, Headfort pupils are putting extra heart into the holiday season by creating their own hand-made Christmas cards. From thoughtful designs to carefully crafted details, each card is a unique expression of the children’s creativity and festive spirit.

In French class, our 5th Form pupils are taking part in a fun and educational postcard project to help them discover all the regions of France. The students have written short messages asking people from different parts of France to send us a postcard from where they live.

The boys’ senior rugby team travelled to The Royal School Armagh for their first match of the season. Although conditions were far from ideal, both forwards and backs delivered a powerful performance, playing some excellent, open, expansive rugby.

The girls’ A and B hockey teams travelled to The Royal School Armagh for their matches. Despite the wet weather, the girls persevered and played some fantastic hockey.

There is nothing more powerful than a student staring in wonderment at the world around them - without fear, without folly - in true awe of the simple things in their lives. This is the Headfort Journey. #HeadfortSchool #primaryschoolireland #earlyyears

Find us a boarder who can tell you they spent hours in the dark of a misty Irish night in the 250 year old school attic, playing hauntingly happy games, and eating candy, and you'll find a Headfort student. This is our school, this is our story, these are our students.

We made the trees our playground, the risk our reward and the time ours. At Headfort, we get dirty, and we love it. To learn more about our Early Years Programme, contact admissions@headfortschool.com #HeadfortSchool #primaryschoolireland #earlyyearseducation

At Headfort we built the bridge between Primary and Secondary school through the creation of our bespoke day and boarding Senior One programme. To learn more about this programme, register to join us at our parent information evening on November 5 at admissions@headfortschool.com

We celebrate the extraordinary achievement of Sadie, and in doing so, share what it means to stand with strength in self. This is the Headfort Journey. #HeadfortSchool #primaryschoolireland #equestrianinterschools

We are proud to announce that our Cinematography pupils have been nominated as finalists in the FÍS Film Competition, a prestigious national contest open to primary schools across Ireland! #HeadfortSchool #FÍSFilmAwards #Primaryeducationireland #CreativeLearning

There’s nothing quite like a good rally in the open air! Our pupils have been enjoying badminton sessions on Headfort’s spacious and scenic grounds, combining fresh air with fast-paced fun. #HeadfortSchool #Teamwork #Primaryeducationireland

There are stories that span centuries of Ireland’s wayward weather, its moodiness making most days utterly unpredictable, yet strangely alluring; particularly when the sky shades our sports field in the warmth of a brand new day. This, is Ireland. This, is our school.

Some schools spend a fortune on playgrounds of plastic, of plywood, of primary colours with little thought of what it means to play. At Headfort, Mother Nature made ours, and play at our school means unbridled exploration, and a profound respect for the wild outdoors.

There is nothing more magical than making a mess while mastering the art of scones under the tutelage of the extraordinary Mr. Bolton. An education in every space, this is the joy of Headfort. #HeadfortSchool #LearningThroughExperience #primaryschoolmeath

Standing guard over seven decades of sporting success, each chapter exulting those who reach an elite level, our school shares in the dreams of every student, and then works to make them a reality. #HeadfortSchool #primaryschoolireland

There are many traditions that have stood the test of time at our school, the Morning Walk is one of them. When the green of Ireland glimmers and our students step into the stride of half a century of learners before them, this is the Headfort Journey. #headfortschool

Imagine a school where not a single child has a mobile phone, not a day goes by without two hours of outdoor play, and the lessons taught stretch far beyond the forest, and you’ll see Headfort. #HeadfortSchool #primaryschoolireland
