About
Scoil Íosagáin Farranree is a vibrant primary school situated in the Farranree community of Cork. The school places a strong emphasis on a balanced curriculum that foregrounds environmental awareness, numeracy and literacy, with dedicated programmes in Green Schools, Maths and Reading. Learning is underpinned by a hands‑on philosophy – “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand” – encouraging pupils to engage actively with material and develop practical skills alongside academic knowledge. Beyond the classroom, the school offers a rich programme of extra‑curricular activities. Pupils can take part in music sessions covering traditional Irish instruments, join the local Na Piarsaigh GAA club, compete in a quiz team and explore a range of creative projects such as the Gamelan and STEM outings. The campus includes a multipurpose Hall available for community hire, a boardroom for meetings and a well‑maintained outdoor area that supports the school’s Green Flag achievements and regular Walk‑on‑Wednesday initiatives, fostering both community spirit and healthy habits.
