About

Scoil Abán Naofa is a co‑educational primary school situated in the rural village of Baile Mhúirne, County Cork. The school provides a Gaelic‑medium learning environment that blends the Irish language curriculum with the national primary syllabus, fostering both linguistic fluency and academic development.

The school places a strong emphasis on community involvement and cultural heritage. Regular events such as the celebration of Saint Gobnait’s feast, Saint Brigid’s Day, and a Christmas tree fundraiser illustrate a vibrant school life that encourages creativity, teamwork and local partnership. Facilities are used for a range of extracurricular activities, including sports marathons and charitable initiatives like the “Bru Columbanus” fundraiser, which demonstrate the school’s commitment to holistic education and social responsibility.
