Welcome to the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh website! Bunscoill Ghaelgagh is the world's only Manx Gaelic medium primary school. Based in the historic former St John's school building, the school is set in the heart of the beautiful St John's village. The school faces the ancient Viking 'Thing' site, Tynwald Hill, where new laws are read out in Manx and English every year on Tynwald Day.

Our vision for Bunscoill Ghaelgagh is a safe and happy environment where children can take risks and expand their horizons. We seek to embrace a distinctive Manx identity and to value and uphold Manx traditions while at the same time respecting and understanding the values and traditions of other cultures.

We aim to nurture creativity and confidence in all pupils through high quality, specialist teaching. Pupils will have many opportunities to perform in a variety of contexts, eg festivals, concerts, assemblies and recordings. Pupils are encouraged to lead and initiate creative activities following the examples of the staff. Academic, cultural and media interest regularly give the children and staff a national and international platform on which to promote our culture.

We aim to identify children’s individual needs and nurture their developing talents through the wide range of opportunities offered. We intend to build a strong school community of Manx speakers with an interest in languages and cultures. We aim to nurture independent thought whilst developing pupils’ awareness of their role as members of a wider society.

We seek to provide many sporting opportunities for the children in the belief that it will help support and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We make a creative use of the surrounding environment for outdoor education and for lessons to promote healthy eating and self-sufficiency.
