About

Scoil Mhuire is a co‑educational Catholic National School situated in the picturesque village of Moycullen, County Galway, at the gateway to Connemara. Although it is no longer classified as a Gaeltacht school, the institution proudly embraces its Gaeltacht heritage, placing the Irish language at the heart of its curriculum and daily life. The school offers a balanced programme that values sport, music and the arts alongside academic achievement, fostering a warm, inclusive atmosphere where respect and community spirit are paramount. Recent developments include secured planning permission for a new school building, reflecting a commitment to modern, purpose‑built facilities. The school benefits from high‑speed broadband under the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme and has received EU‑funded grants to enhance digital learning, providing devices and upgraded IT infrastructure. A proactive Board of Management, an engaged parents’ association and a dedicated staff work together to support pupils in developing their individual talents, encouraging them to aim high, dream big and become confident, creative learners.
