On 28th February 2025, we held a No Uniform Day to raise funds for Charlie Upton, a past pupil of the school.

From everyone in Glenmore N.S. we wish Charlie every success at the championships and we are delighted for him. Best of Luck Charlie!
Here is a word of thanks from Charlie and a summary of his achievements to date…

Following a number of extremely tricky heats, Charlie was selected to represent Ireland in the Youth Angling Championships Spain 2025. He along with his under 4 team members are taking to the World Stage, under 15, against the best in the world in August.
