Scoil Ide Naofa

About

Scoil Ide Naofa is a vibrant primary school serving the Raheenagh community, dedicated to fostering a love of learning in young children. The school embraces the philosophy that “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire,” highlighting a commitment to inspire curiosity, critical thinking and personal growth rather than rote memorisation. The curriculum is delivered across a full range of junior and senior classes (from Junior Infants to Sixth Class), with dedicated timetables and school dates that structure the academic year. A strong emphasis is placed on extracurricular activity, evident from regular events such as camogie and hurling leagues, sports days and cultural outings like the walk to the mass rock. The school also promotes environmental stewardship through its Green Flag programme and provides a variety of facilities and resources, as indicated by the dedicated School Amenities page. Through a blend of academic rigour, sport, cultural heritage and community involvement, Scoil Ide Naofa aims to nurture confident, well‑rounded learners prepared for the challenges of the future.
