School Details
About
Gaelscoil an Bhradáin Feasa is an Irish‑medium primary school that provides education entirely through the Irish language, fostering a positive linguistic atmosphere for pupils from early childhood. The school operates a structured day beginning at 8.50 am and concluding at 2.30 pm, with infant classes finishing earlier at 1.30 pm to ease the transition to a longer day. A clear ethos underpins the curriculum, emphasising active participation, independent learning and the development of both Irish and English language skills. The school promotes a healthy lifestyle through a strict lunch policy: fruit and vegetables are encouraged for the first break, while sandwiches or yoghurt are recommended for the main break, and crisps, carbonated drinks, gum and sweets are prohibited. Uniform consists of a school tracksuit and white polo shirt, sourced from Pat O’Farrell Schoolwear in Swords, with practical velcro‑fastened shoes recommended for younger children. Safety measures include a ban on glass bottles and a requirement for children to manage their own coats and shoes. An attendance‑tracking app is available for parents, and the school provides dedicated morning support staff to assist pupils as they arrive. Facilities include a spacious playground, ample parking for parents, and a well‑equipped classroom environment that supports the school’s commitment to a balanced, language‑rich education.
