About

Scoil Naomh Pádraig is a vertical, Catholic primary school situated in Moylough, County Galway, catering for boys and girls from Junior Infants through to 6th class. With an enrolment of approximately 147 pupils, the school provides a single‑site environment where children can progress through all primary years together. The ethos centres on kindness and respect, fostering an inclusive and supportive atmosphere in which every child feels safe, valued and motivated to achieve their full potential. The school adopts a collaborative approach, working closely with pupils, parents, the Board of Management and the Parents’ Association to deliver a rich educational experience. Recent initiatives include the introduction of station teaching across the school, which promotes active, differentiated learning, and a strong emphasis on extracurricular participation, with teams and individuals competing in a variety of sporting events. The curriculum is complemented by regular field trips and programmes such as the Lego League and health‑focused outings, reinforcing both academic and personal development.
