The school delivers its curriculum entirely through the Irish language, fostering fluency and cultural appreciation while meeting the national curriculum standards. Emphasis is placed on a holistic educational approach that integrates language development with subjects such as maths, science, arts and physical education, encouraging pupils to think critically and creatively in both Irish and English. The daily timetable reflects a structured yet flexible learning environment. The infant day begins at 08:10 and concludes at 13:00, while the older classes continue until 14:00. Breaks are scheduled throughout the morning, with three short intervals and a staggered lunch period to accommodate different year groups.

Facilities are typical of a modern Irish primary school, providing classrooms equipped for interactive learning, outdoor play areas, and resources that support the bilingual ethos.
