Welcome to our school website. We hope it gives you an insight into the life of our school. Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a welcoming, happy school, where we all work together for the benefit of the pupils who attend here. As a staff, developing an open, positive relationship with both pupils and parents is our priority. We value and look after the needs of every child and strive to make sure that all of our pupils enjoy their time here. We recognise that learning is a lifelong process, and believe that the foundation we lay with children today, will help them to ensure their place as global citizens in communities around the world tomorrow.



Lots of learning happening in 2nd class. Maths Stations, the boys love to learn this way! It makes maths lots of fun!


Congratulations to our mini 7's footballers who qualified for the county finals. They now join our mini 7's hurling team who also qualified for the finals. They had a busy day, winning all 4 group games before defeating Maree in the final. Well done boys! Football team pictures below.


Well done to the 3rd and 4th class boys who came 3rd overall in the Connaught Cross Country Finals!

Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school. Our school motto is “Amor Vincit Omnia” which translates to ‘Love conquers all’. We aspire to holding this motto as part of our daily interactions and teachings.

We are an active school and pride ourselves in our Active Schools status. Our most recent success has been in receiving our Digital schools of Distinction Award. We are a proactive and progressive school and take huge pride in the wealth of experiences we provide for our pupils.
Our pupils thrive because they are supported, encouraged, cared for and given a real sense of belonging. Leadership is fostered through the establishment of the Students Council, Green Schools committee, Health promotions Committee, The Active Schools Committee. All children learn the importance of teamwork, respect and commitment through their involvement in these committees.
