About

Scoil Náisiúnta na Sraithe is a small, coastal national school situated on the west coast of County Mayo, Ireland, directly beside the sea. The school caters for children from Junior Infants through to Sixth Class, organised into two main classrooms: the Junior Room for pupils from Junior Infants to Second Class and the Senior Room for those from Third to Sixth Class. In addition to the teaching staff, the school benefits from a shared learning support teacher and a dedicated secretary, providing a supportive learning environment for all pupils. The school places a strong emphasis on the creative arts, encouraging students to engage in a wide range of artistic activities such as drawing, crafts, pottery and singing, often performed in Irish. This focus on creativity is complemented by the school’s commitment to environmental and health initiatives – it is recognised as both a Green School and an Active School, promoting sustainable practices and regular physical activity. A virtual tour of the school grounds is available online, showcasing the pleasant, sea‑side setting that forms an integral part of the pupils’ everyday experience.
