About
Coláiste Pobail Naomh Mhuire, situated in Buttevant, presents itself as a community‑focused secondary school dedicated to “inspiring futures – nurturing minds”. The school promotes a positive learning environment where team‑teaching, group work and strong teacher‑student relationships are central to unlocking each pupil’s potential. A broad curriculum is offered across the Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Leaving Certificate, with core subjects such as English, Irish, Mathematics and Science complemented by a wide range of optional subjects, from Agri‑science and Engineering to Music and Art. The Transition Year programme is highlighted as an integral, non‑exam year that encourages personal development through drama, music, sport and work‑experience opportunities. Facilities support both academic and pastoral needs. Supervised study sessions run each afternoon, and a comprehensive book‑lending scheme provides textbooks and e‑books for a modest annual fee. The school operates a Department of Education‑co‑ordinated bus service covering surrounding towns, and supplies a uniform catalogue through local suppliers. Additional support structures include student‑support services, an online reporting system, and a range of policies that underpin safeguarding, attendance and special‑needs provision.
