Gaelscoil Carrig Ui Leighinn

About

Gaelscoil Charraig Uí Leighin is an Irish‑medium primary school that welcomes children, parents, former pupils, teachers and the wider community to share in a vibrant learning journey. The school places a strong emphasis on creating a positive, inclusive atmosphere, underpinned by its annual “Bí Cineálta” (Be Kind) campaign which encourages kindness as a core value. A busy Parents Council supports school life, organising events and contributing to the development of school policies, while a comprehensive online calendar keeps families informed of holidays, term dates and extracurricular activities. The school offers a range of facilities designed to support both academic and physical development. Recent enhancements include a newly‑opened playground equipped with obstacle courses, slides and dual swings, providing a safe and stimulating environment for outdoor play. Inside, the school provides well‑stocked book lists, resource‑rich classrooms and access to a variety of school policies and staff information through its website. Regular cultural and sporting events, such as Gaelic football matches, Christmas concerts and Halloween celebrations, enrich the curriculum and foster a strong sense of community.
