About Us

The school was opened in 1985. It is a modern
building with excellent facilities, including four
spacious, well equipped classrooms and a large
general-purpose hall. Outside there are three
tarmacked playing areas as well as a grassed area
to the side of the school. To the rear of the school is
a hilly area and a beautiful wooded area, which lends
itself very well to nature study lessons.
The school aims to provide the best possible
education for each child in a safe, secure, happy
environment. We strive to develop every aspect of
the child, including their social, emotional, spiritual
and educational development. It is a two-teacher
school. There are forty-five pupils at present. There
is one part time resource teacher. The curriculum of
the school consists of Irish, English, Mathematics,
Religion, Geography, History, Science and
Environmental Studies, Music, Art & Craft, Drama
and Physical Education.
Our school logo is “Mol an óige “ which means praise the young. This translation comes from the old Irish proverb “praise
the youth and they’ll succeed.”
