Passage East National School

About

Passage East National School is a vibrant primary school situated in the coastal village of Passage East, County Waterford. The school prides itself on providing a caring, inclusive and welcoming environment where pupils are encouraged to reach their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. A dedicated team of educators works collaboratively to create a stimulating curriculum that balances traditional learning with modern pedagogical approaches, ensuring that every child feels supported and motivated to succeed. The school’s facilities reflect its commitment to holistic development. A purpose‑built sensory room offers a calming space for pupils to self‑regulate and develop sensory skills, while extensive outdoor areas—including a playground, sports field and a school garden for growing seasonal vegetables—allow children to engage with nature and physical activity. Recent funding from the EU’s Next Generation programme has equipped classrooms with new touch‑screen monitors, helping to bridge the digital divide and enhance learning for students at risk of educational disadvantage.
