About
Scoil Íosagáin, Hospital National School is a co‑educational primary school serving children from Junior Infants to 6th class. In addition to its mainstream classes the school recently introduced a specially sanctioned class for pupils with autism, reflecting a commitment to inclusive education. Situated on the outskirts of Hospital, County Limerick, the school lies roughly 20 km from Limerick city, providing a rural‑town setting that balances community spirit with access to urban resources. The school’s ethos centres on nurturing each child’s full potential within a happy, caring environment. Emphasis is placed on partnership with parents and the wider Hospital community, fostering mutual respect and collaboration. Teaching and support staff work together to create a safe, stimulating atmosphere where academic, social and emotional growth are equally valued. The school crest’s motto, “Ní neart go cur le Chéile” (Together, everyone achieves more), underpins this collective approach. A vibrant programme of extracurricular activities – including choral festivals, Irish language awards and a Lego showcase for Science Week – demonstrates the school’s dedication to creativity, curiosity and community involvement.
