About
Gaelscoil na gCeithre Máistrí is an Irish‑medium primary school situated in the Brookfield area on the edge of Donegal Town, within the grounds of Páirc an tSrutháin. The school operates from a brand‑new, state‑of‑the‑art building that provides first‑class resources for pupils, including modern classrooms and specialised facilities. Although currently a small school, it benefits from a close‑knit community of families and staff who work together to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment. The school’s educational ethos centres on ensuring every child feels happy, safe and confident while learning through the Irish language. A collaborative partnership between staff and parents underpins the curriculum, promoting active participation and a strong sense of belonging. In line with its commitment to inclusive education, Gaelscoil na gCeithre Máistrí is preparing to open a dedicated Special Education Unit, which will broaden provision for pupils with additional needs and reinforce the school’s inclusive ethos.
History
Gaelscoil na gCeithre Máistrí has recently moved into its new premises in Brookfield and is expanding its facilities with the forthcoming Special Education Unit. The school’s leadership was appointed in September 2024, marking a period of growth and renewed focus on Irish‑medium education in Donegal Town.
