About
Midleton CBS Primary School is a co‑educational primary school situated in Midleton, County Cork, offering education from Junior Infants through to 6th Class. The school has recently transitioned from an all‑boys institution to a mixed‑gender setting, welcoming both boys and girls across all year groups. In addition to its mainstream classes, the school provides five specialised classes for children on the autism spectrum, beginning with an Early Intervention Class and continuing through to 6th Class, demonstrating a strong commitment to inclusive education. The school’s educational philosophy centres on holistic development, fostering a happy and supportive environment that encourages self‑confidence, self‑esteem and active participation in learning. Teaching and support staff create an active learning atmosphere that integrates the national curriculum with extracurricular activities, creative homework projects and real‑life applications of classroom knowledge. Emphasis is placed on well‑being, with dedicated resources such as the Well‑Being programme, Safer Routes to School and the Aistear framework for early childhood education, ensuring that pupils develop academically, socially and emotionally. Facilities at Midleton CBS Primary support this approach, providing spaces for both indoor and outdoor learning, specialised resources for autism support, and areas for a range of extracurricular pursuits. The school’s commitment to high academic standards is complemented by a vibrant programme of activities that extend learning beyond the classroom.
