About
Murroe National School (Scoil Cholmcille, Murroe) is a vibrant primary school that blends a strong Irish cultural ethos with a forward‑looking curriculum. The school places the Irish language and Gaelic traditions at the heart of daily life, celebrating events such as Seachtain na Gaeilge and offering regular Gaeilge‑medium activities. A commitment to holistic development is evident through a broad range of extracurricular programmes, including GAA, soccer, athletics, swimming, ceili dance and cycling workshops, all supported by three Active Flags that highlight the school’s emphasis on health and wellbeing. The academic programme is underpinned by a robust digital‑literacy strategy. Pupils engage with STEM through interactive simulations, coding with Bee‑Bots and Scratch, and research projects that develop safe online information‑seeking skills. Literacy and typing are reinforced with digital tools, while the school’s Learning Zone and STEM pages showcase a modern learning environment that prepares children for the demands of the 21st century. Together, these elements create a supportive, inclusive setting where children are encouraged to lead active, curious, and confident lives.
