About

Bunscoil an Chlochair, Daingean Uí Chúis, is a primary school serving the local community in County Offaly. The school places a strong emphasis on both the Irish language and a broad, balanced curriculum, offering a range of resources to support literacy, numeracy and scientific enquiry. A notable feature of the school’s approach is its extensive use of online learning platforms – from FolensOnline and Educate.ie to specialised Irish‑language games such as Digital Dialects and Dréimire – ensuring that pupils have access to interactive and engaging material both in the classroom and at home. The school maintains an active Parents Council, reachable via a dedicated email address, which works closely with staff to support the school community. In response to the COVID‑19 pandemic, Bunscoil an Chlochair has communicated clear health and safety guidance, encouraging regular hand‑washing, social distancing and the use of at‑home learning resources. By providing links to free educational content from organisations such as Grow in Love, Veritas and Twinkl, the school demonstrates a commitment to continuous learning, even when pupils are unable to attend in person.
