Nestled just 6 km from Castlebar in the heart of County Mayo, Crimlin National School is a vibrant rural primary school that prioritises curiosity, creativity and community spirit. The school adopts a hands‑on, whole‑child approach, encouraging pupils to explore science through classroom experiments and astronomy projects, and to engage with the natural environment via regular outdoor geography lessons.
