Our Committee

At Balnamill Little Learners, we believe in the age-old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." Our vision was born out of this very principle—a group of dedicated individuals from our community came together, driven by a shared commitment to protect and nurture the future of our local primary school. Each of us has deep roots in this village, either through living, working, or growing up here. Together, we have embarked on this journey to create a place where our youngest learners can thrive, and thus, Balnamill Little Learners was born.
