Grange Post Primary is a co-educational, multi-denominational equal opportunities school catering for the educational needs of 181 second level students.
The central purpose of the school community is the moral, intellectual, physical and social education of the students, while an atmosphere of holistic care and concern is generated in which the student can grow to maturity. We endeavour to promote a sense of belonging to our school community where each individual is valued and his/her uniqueness is recognised. We promote a school community that is caring and positive. This work will be carried out in an environment that is both safe and secure for all in our school community. We believe Pastoral Care is the responsibility of the entire school community.
The pastoral care policy encompasses the whole school community. Pastoral care should permeate in all areas of school life.

The school’s vision and values in relation to attendance
Every school is required by law to have a policy. The law states that students should attend school every day.
We need to have a policy so that we have a standardised response to non-attendance.
We wish to fulfil the aims of our mission statement and our policy aims to reduce absenteeism and to motivate students to take an active part in their education. Parents, students and staff are expected to co-operate in the successful implementation of this strategy.
