About our School 

Scoil Chroí Íosa, known locally as the Pres, continues a tradition of education which the Presentation Sisters began in 1815. Our school welcomes all to a happy, safe and supportive learning environment, inspired by Christian values in the Presentation tradition, where all feel equal, respected and valued.

 

We place a huge emphasis on the creative arts, active learning and bringing local and national expertise into the classroom. As you browse through our website I hope you get a sense of how actively engaged the children are in learning through the arts, gardening, woodwork, music, physical activity, mindfulness, play and art therapy, yoga, cookery and much more.  

 

We have created partnerships with many local and national organisations to ensure the children are exposed to a wide variety of stimuli and experiences. We continue to transform the physical environment of the school to stimulate creative thinking, from our wonderful library to our glorious garden!  

 

 

HERE'S WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION INSPECTORS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR SCHOOL AND WELLBEING WHEN THEY VISITED IN 2018: "The overall quality of support for pupils’ well-being is very good. A caring and inclusive atmosphere exists and pupils’ holistic development is catered for very effectively. Pupil voice is fostered very effectively through initiatives such as the Student Council, which has positively influenced decisions to improve pupil well-being. The role of the HSCL teacher is carried out to a high standard. A broad range of initiatives to support the link between the school and the community and to include parents are in place. A very good range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are provided for pupils to develop a wide range of skills and talents, many of them voluntarily by the teachers and other stakeholders.''
