About
Glencorrib National School is a small, rural primary school situated in the picturesque village of Glencorrib, Co. Mayo. Established in 1854, the school provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where the emotional, social and academic development of each pupil is prioritised. With a modest team that includes class teachers, a dedicated Special Education Teacher and a School Nursing Assistant, the school is able to offer personalised support and small‑class teaching, ensuring that every child receives the attention they need to thrive. The curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation for later education, equipping pupils with the confidence and skills required for a successful transition to secondary school. The school benefits from well‑maintained grounds that serve as an outdoor learning space, encouraging exploration and play alongside formal lessons. Strong links with the local community and active parental involvement enrich the school experience, while the inclusive ethos ensures that children of all abilities feel valued. Facilities such as a dedicated special‑education provision and access to a schoolwear centre for uniforms further support a holistic, supportive learning environment.
