About

Clontuskert National School is a vibrant primary school serving the rural community of Clontuskert, County Galway. The school provides a broad, child‑centred curriculum that balances academic learning with a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship, cultural celebration and sport. Pupils regularly engage in projects such as the Climate Action Committee’s air‑quality monitoring, which not only teaches scientific methodology but also promotes awareness of local health and sustainability issues. The school’s extracurricular programme is extensive, offering a breakfast and after‑school club, regular participation in GAA football and Connacht rugby blitzes, and annual events such as the Christmas concert at the Kiltormer GAA Complex. Dedicated classroom spaces—including dedicated rooms for junior, senior and specialist subjects—support a varied learning experience. Regular newsletters and community updates highlight the school’s commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive atmosphere where families and local organisations collaborate for the benefit of the children.
