About
Cooneal National School is a Catholic co‑educational primary school situated in Coonealcauraun, Ballina, County Mayo. Under the patronage of the Bishop of Killala, the school embraces a Catholic ethos that seeks the full and harmonious development of each pupil – intellectually, physically, culturally, morally and spiritually. The curriculum is delivered within a framework that promotes a living relationship with God, respect for others and a Christian philosophy of life, while also encouraging appreciation of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. The school provides a safe, happy environment where high professional standards are maintained and a spirit of mutual respect is fostered throughout the community. Strong links between home and school are prioritised, with parents and staff collaborating to support pupils at every stage of their development. Facilities include locally prepared school lunches delivered daily by Martina’s Homemade Foods, and the school organises enriching activities such as the “Seashore Safari” to enhance experiential learning. Comprehensive policies covering admissions, child safeguarding, anti‑bullying and Covid‑19 health measures underpin the school’s commitment to a supportive and inclusive learning setting.
