Our Mission Statement

Cranford National School is a Catholic school under the patronage of the Bishop of Raphoe. It gives due recognition to children of all religious beliefs and none. Built originally in 1965 to cater for the amalgamation of two schools in Cranford and Coole. Coole being a Catholic school and the other a mixed school under Protestant management. It strives to provide a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupil is identified and addressed.

Cranford National School will promote the development of teachers and staff and encourage continual parental involvement.
