About
Presentation Primary School (Scoil Freastógail Mhuire) is a Catholic co‑educational primary school located in the town of Fermoy, Co. Cork. It welcomes boys and girls from Junior Infants to 1st Class, after which the senior section (2nd–6th Class) is girls‑only. The school places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, operating five dedicated autism classes – the “Little Acorns” – and actively promotes neurodiversity through stories, games and videos that celebrate the unique ways children think and learn. The learning environment is designed to nurture curiosity and confidence. A well‑stocked school library supports a vibrant reading programme, while participation in the Active School Flag and regular physical‑education activities encourage healthy lifestyles. Academic enrichment is evident in initiatives such as Maths Week, where interactive challenges are offered both in‑school and for home practice, and in the arts, highlighted by national competition successes. The school’s mission, rooted in the legacy of Nano Nagle, stresses compassion, kindness and moral development, aiming to equip pupils with the skills and values needed to thrive in a changing world.
