Kiltegan National School

About

Kiltegan National School is a modern, rural, two‑teacher, co‑educational primary school operating under the patronage of the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory. The school benefits from high‑speed broadband connectivity provided through the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme, part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) funded by the European Union’s NextGeneration EU. This digital infrastructure supports a contemporary curriculum that integrates technology into everyday learning while preserving the close‑knit, community‑focused atmosphere typical of a small rural school. The school’s vision is to nurture an environment of mutual trust and understanding where each child’s creative, cultural, emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development can flourish. Emphasis is placed on the virtues of equity and integrity, ensuring that every pupil is valued, respected and experiences a strong sense of belonging. Daily routines are clearly structured, with the school opening at 9:10 am, classes commencing at 9:20 am, and a balanced timetable that includes a short morning break, a lunchtime period and a full‑day schedule concluding at 3:00 pm (with a junior infants early finish in October). The uniform policy reinforces a sense of community and pride among the learners.
