Lisavaird Mxd National School

About

Lisavaird National School (LNS) is a mixed‑gender primary school that combines a traditional Irish curriculum with a Montessori‑inspired approach, offering a play‑based learning environment for children from junior infants to sixth class. The school emphasises “vision, growth and development” and maintains a favourable pupil‑teacher ratio, ensuring that each child receives personalised attention. Situated in a convenient location, the campus includes dedicated indoor and outdoor learning spaces, a newly installed playscape for junior and senior infants, and specialised areas for science, maths and creative projects. Recent initiatives such as Maths Week, Science Week, and a range of cross‑curricular projects (e.g., the Mexico cultural project and DNA extraction workshop) demonstrate a commitment to experiential learning and community involvement. The school also promotes holistic wellbeing through active‑school programmes and Green Schools initiatives, encouraging physical activity, environmental stewardship and healthy eating. Parents are supported with a comprehensive online enrolment system, a welcome booklet, and clear guidance on uniform, attendance and communication procedures. Regular updates via the news feed, newsletters and a vibrant gallery keep families informed of school events, celebrations and fundraising activities, fostering a strong partnership between staff, pupils and the wider community.
