About
Crosspatrick National School is a mixed Roman Catholic primary school situated in County Kilkenny under the patronage of the Bishop of Ossory. The school prides itself on a low pupil‑teacher ratio, employing two mainstream class teachers, a support teacher and a special needs assistant to ensure each child receives personalised attention. The curriculum is broad and balanced, incorporating swimming, sport, science, art, music, drama, modern coding and STEM programmes, with a strong emphasis on integrating information and communication technology. Each pupil is provided with an iPad, which is used to reinforce literacy and numeracy, and the school benefits from a 500 MB fibre connection that delivers fast, reliable internet access. The campus benefits from excellent outdoor facilities, including a polytunnel for horticultural learning, a ball wall, a tarmac play area and well‑maintained grass fields. These spaces support the school’s commitment to outdoor and experiential learning, complementing classroom teaching. The proximity to the local church and the spacious village hall further enhances the community‑focused ethos of the school, offering additional venues for assemblies, events and extracurricular activities.
