Ballyea National School Ballyea National School is located 4 miles west of Ennis in the community of Ballyea along with the church, community centre and GAA club.

Ballyea National School has seen many changes since its inception in the 1700-1800s, when the children of the parish were educated in the hedgeschools of Buncraggy, Tiermaclane and Darragh. Over the years the site has of the school has moved from Newhall to Ballyea Cross and then to the site of the existing community centre. Today Ballyea NS is unrecognisable from its humble origins. A new state of the art building was completed in 2010. It is a two storey energy efficient building, which incorporates eight bright and spacious classrooms, a large acoustically-lined sports hall, a library, computer room and two resource rooms. A large atrium floods sunlight directly into the heart of the building, which currently schools over 200 pupils. Our school aims to provide an atmosphere which allows each child to reach his/her full potential. A climate of tolerance and understanding of each person’s uniqueness is fostered. A great emphasis is placed on the areas of sport and music, in union with academic achievement.
