Carrigboy National School

About

Carrigboy National School is a vibrant primary school serving children from Junior Infants through Sixth Class. The school places a strong emphasis on a balanced curriculum that combines academic learning with a wide range of extracurricular activities, including debating, sports such as tag rugby and badminton, and participation in cultural events like Seachtain na Gaeilge. A commitment to health and wellbeing is evident through its Healthy Eating Policy, which encourages nutritious lunches and restricts sugary snacks and drinks, as well as its active school programmes that promote physical activity throughout the year. The school maintains a clear uniform policy to foster a sense of community and equality, requiring navy pinafores or skirts, navy denim or trousers, and appropriate jumpers. Safety is prioritised with a traffic plan that discourages vehicle entry at the school entrance and promotes safe drop‑off along footpaths. Communication with families is supported by regular updates on school matters, including Covid‑19 guidance and attendance procedures, ensuring a transparent and supportive learning environment for all pupils.
