Curriglass National School

About

Curriglass National School is a vibrant primary school that blends traditional Irish values with a forward‑looking curriculum. The school places a strong emphasis on experiential learning, offering a rich programme that includes STEM projects such as mini‑house constructions, active participation in gardening (notably a bronze medal in the Cork School Gardens competition), and a range of creative arts through music and the Creative Schools Programme (2024‑2026). A commitment to holistic development is evident in the variety of extracurricular activities, from sports and arena tours to farm visits that connect pupils with the natural environment. The school’s facilities cater for distinct age groups, with dedicated Junior, Middle and Senior rooms, each providing age‑appropriate resources and learning support. Initiatives such as the Green Schools programme, the Active School Flag, and the Literacy Lift‑Off scheme underline a focus on sustainability, physical wellbeing and literacy development. Community involvement is a cornerstone, demonstrated by fundraising efforts for the Hope Foundation and regular engagement with local councils and organisations.
