About
Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile is a co‑educational primary school under the patronage of the local bishop, delivering a Catholic ethos through the medium of Irish. The school’s core aim is to provide a high standard of education entirely in Irish, fostering academic excellence while nurturing each child’s individual strengths. By immersing pupils in the Irish language for all classroom learning and extracurricular activities, the school seeks to develop confident, bilingual learners who carry positive memories of their time at Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile. Beyond the core curriculum, the school offers a range of supportive programmes, including specialised classes for children with autism and a variety of clubs such as an after‑school club and a breakfast club. It is actively involved in national initiatives such as the Green Schools programme, Active School, and the FAI Schools scheme, reflecting a commitment to holistic development, health, and environmental awareness. The school’s facilities are designed to support both academic and personal growth, providing a safe, inclusive environment where pupils can explore, create and thrive.
