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.



Our caretaker Brendan, has been busy.


During Science week, the boys constructed volcanoes using clay, cardboard and paint. Afterwards, they enjoyed watching in anticipation as they erupted their creations in the school yard! Over the course of the week, we learned about lots of famous Irish inventors as well as investigating the significant role science plays in our everyday lives!


As part of Science week, Second class made rockets using paper and straws. They tested them and made any necessary changes to their rockets before launching them outside. We had a lot of fun!


The boys gathered lots of recycled materials to build their beautiful houses. They planned, sketched, researched images on the I Pads and gave great feedback and ideas to their peers on their designs! They spent lots of time constructing and decorating their lovely houses. Lots of fun was had!

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.
