About
Bun Scoil McAuley Rice is a co‑educational primary school offering education from Junior Infants through to 6th Class. The school provides dedicated places for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at both Junior and Senior Infant levels, reflecting a strong commitment to inclusive education. A broad range of policies – covering everything from child safeguarding and health & safety to the Primary Curriculum Framework and SPHE – underpins a safe, supportive and academically rigorous environment. The school follows the Irish primary curriculum, enriched by a focus on personal, social and health education (RSE, SPHE) and a well‑structured approach to literacy, numeracy and physical education, as evidenced by its participation in the SSE (Self‑Evaluation) programmes. Regular review of policies such as the Code of Behaviour, Healthy Lunches and Parents as Partners ensures that teaching and learning are responsive to the needs of pupils and families. Facilities are housed in a modern, well‑maintained building that provides ample classroom space, specialised areas for ASD support and resources for a wide range of activities. The school’s online presence highlights a vibrant community, with easy access to enrolment forms, policy documents and updates for parents, reinforcing its role as a welcoming centre for early childhood education in the locality.
