About
Glenmore National School, known in Irish as Scoil Séamus Naofa, is a rural primary school situated in the village of Glenmore, midway between New Ross and Waterford. The school embraces a Catholic ethos while actively welcoming children of all denominations, fostering an inclusive community that respects diverse faith backgrounds. Teaching is delivered in a nurturing environment that balances traditional academic curricula with a strong emphasis on personal development, moral values and social responsibility. The school provides a range of extra‑curricular opportunities, including an after‑school infant club for Junior and Senior Infants (1:40 pm‑2:40 pm), regular performances with local theatre groups, participation in regional music concerts such as “Sing Out Loud”, and a commitment to environmental stewardship through its Green Flag programme. Recent developments include the opening of two dedicated ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) classes, reflecting a focus on specialised support for learners with additional needs. A vibrant Parents’ Association, active Students’ Council and regular community events further enrich the school life, creating a well‑rounded experience for pupils aged 4‑12.
