About

Claddaghduff National School is a co‑educational, Catholic primary school situated in a rural community and operating under the DEIS programme with a two‑teacher staffing model. The school provides a caring, happy and secure atmosphere that nurtures the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural development of each pupil. Its educational philosophy centres on creating a positive, stimulating learning environment where children are encouraged to recognise their gifts, develop a love of learning and achieve their full potential. The school’s ethos is rooted in Catholic values while respecting all other religions, fostering a mutually supportive community that includes students, parents and the wider locality. Emphasis is placed on holistic wellbeing, with programmes that promote healthy eating, physical activity, cultural participation and moral development. Facilities are organised into distinct Junior and Senior rooms, and an after‑school club supports extended learning and recreation. Regular communication through newsletters, a school calendar and an up‑to‑date website keeps families informed and engaged with school life.
