SCOIL CHOILMCILLE
School Details
About
Scoil Cholmcille is a vibrant primary school serving the Letterkenny community in County Donegal. The school follows the Irish national curriculum while placing a strong emphasis on inclusive, child‑centred learning and the development of personal values such as kindness – reflected in its “Bí Cineálta” (Be Kind) policy which replaces the former anti‑bullying programme. A broad range of extra‑curricular activities enriches the pupil experience, including STEM workshops, VEX robotics competitions, Healthcraft projects, drama productions, Gaelic language weeks, and regular sport events in the newly‑opened sports hall and local leisure centres. The school’s facilities are modern and well‑maintained, featuring a purpose‑built sports hall, dedicated classrooms for each class from Junior Infants to 6th Class, and specialised spaces for music, art and science activities. Uniform guidelines promote a tidy, weather‑appropriate appearance, and the school utilises the Aladdin Connect app for timely parent‑teacher communication. A proactive Board of Management oversees policies on health and safety, equality, safeguarding and school tours, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all learners.
