Celebrating the end of our first year at Sligo Sudbury School we would like to express our gratitude to all of our students and their families, our board of trustees, our staff, and generous supporters, without whom none of it could have happened.

It has been a whirlwind of a year and we are been amazed, humbled and inspired by the young people who have joined our community. It is an honour to be […]

We had a fantastic day out for our first school tour last week. After an invigorating start and lots of fun at the Harbour Splash Aqua Park in Dun Laoghaire we headed over to the Phoenix Park to visit Bloom and meet up with staff and students from our sister school, Wicklow Sudbury School. A beautiful day and a lovely end to the year.

We have a great interest in philosophy at Sligo Sudbury School and were excited to have the opportunity to meet like-minded people at the Young Philosopher Awards.

Making our Easter Tree was fun.

We blew the yolks out of the eggs first. Then we painted them. Then we hung them up on the tree.

They look just like eggs hanging from a tree.

On Mon 4th Feb, we all came in early and built a fort out of yoga mats, blankets and cushions. We ate pancakes and just chilled out for the day playing truth or dare. I beat the most jumps on a skipping rope without stopping record (49). Funnily enough, that one day was the warmest that week so we decided to go out.

It was a great day between chatting, pancake eating, soccer and almost sleeping……and skipping.
