WELCOME TO HEADFORT SCHOOL
Since its establishment over 70 years ago, Headfort set itself apart in its liberal approach to education with small classes and specialist teachers. Having undergone a reincarnation in 2020, this co-educational and non-denominational school offers outstanding primary education for both day and boarding pupils where sport and extra curricular activities form an integral part of each school day.
Set among 60 acres of stunning grounds and with the unique backdrop of a Robert Adam-designed interior just a mile from the ancient town of Kells, Headfort inspires independence in children, whilst maintaining strong academic credentials.
