About
Rathfeigh National School (Scoil Mhuire Naofa Rathfeigh) is a vibrant primary school that places the well‑being and development of each child at the heart of its ethos. The school describes its mission as “cherishing childhood as the foundation of life by providing education in an open, nurturing, challenging and affirming environment that respects the uniqueness of each individual as they relate to each other, their teachers, their family, their community and their God.” This philosophy underpins a curriculum that balances literacy, numeracy and creative learning, reinforced by programmes such as the Lift‑Off to Literacy initiative and a dedicated multi‑sensory room that supports diverse learning needs. The school community is active and inclusive, with regular events that celebrate Irish culture and foster social interaction. Recent highlights include visits from the Intermediate Skryne Gaelic Football team, World Book Day activities, Pancake Tuesday celebrations and an annual Halloween Fancy Dress and Pumpkin Competition. These events, together with a lively news feed and a well‑maintained school calendar, illustrate a commitment to providing a rich, experiential education that encourages curiosity, confidence and a love of learning.
