St. Cronan’s National School is a co-educational school under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Clonfert.
While St. Cronan’s is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to children of all other religious beliefs and none.
Our Enrolment Policy (Policy may be viewed on school website or hard copy available from office) is based on the principles of
Inclusiveness incl. ethnicity, special educational needs, disability, language/accent, gender, traveller status, asylum-seeker/refugee status, religious/political beliefs and values, family or social circumstances.
Equality of access and participation in the school
Parental choice in relation to enrolment
Our school is part of the local church community and has strong links with the parish, including sacramental preparation.
In our school community, we aspire to promote a nurturing inclusive environment where each child is encouraged and motivated personally, academically, socially, physically and spiritually to become a responsible, happy individual.
We work in partnership with parents and the community to empower students to live in and contribute to a rapidly changing society and to act as responsible, independent children and later, self-sufficient adults who care about others and their environment.
We strive to promote the professional and personal development of teachers through staff development programmes.
