About

Scoil Naisiunta Tobair Eoin Baisde (Johnswell National School) is a Catholic, co‑educational primary school situated in Johnswell, Co. Kilkenny. It follows the Department of Education and Skills’ Primary School Curriculum and adopts a child‑centred, small‑school ethos that enables teachers to work with pupils over an extended period, fostering continuity of learning and personal development. The school places equal emphasis on intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural growth, providing a well‑ordered, caring and secure atmosphere for all children. The school offers a broad range of facilities to support a holistic education. Dedicated SEN staff operate two sensory rooms and outdoor learning pods, while a large playing field, basketball court and yard provide ample space for sport and recreation. Environmental stewardship is promoted through a Green Schools Committee, a pond, meadow, polytunnel and biodiversity initiatives. Enrichment programmes include STEM activities, a vibrant music generation, Irish language and arts sessions, and a well‑equipped digital learning suite that enhances IT literacy across the curriculum. An after‑school programme, subsidised by the National Childcare Scheme, extends care from 2 pm to 6 pm.
