School Details
About
Killasser National School is a small, three‑teacher primary school located in the heart of Killasser village, a short ten‑minute drive from Swinford. Set on a spacious, scenic site, the school offers a family‑like atmosphere where pupils benefit from low pupil‑to‑teacher ratios and personalised attention. The curriculum begins each day at 9.00 am, with infant classes finishing at 1.40 pm and junior to senior classes at 2.40 pm, allowing for a structured yet flexible learning day. The school’s facilities include two large mainstream classrooms, a fully stocked and regularly updated library, a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SET) room, as well as a kitchen, staffroom and care room. A punctual daily bus service from Swinford and surrounding rural pick‑up points, together with an after‑school club (1.40 pm–2.40 pm) and free school lunches, support families and ensure children have safe, reliable transport and nutrition. Teaching staff are described as trained professionals with specialised training, and the school makes extensive use of resources to cater for varied learning styles. Virtual classroom links are provided for each class, reflecting a commitment to integrating technology into everyday learning.
