Curricular Activities

We follow the National Curriculum which is child- centered. We aim to provide top quality teaching and learning and our priority is to cater for the individual learning needs of each child. We hope as a team to provide our children with a fair chance at everything on our curriculum before they leave our school.

Team Teaching in Literacy and Numeracy

As a staff we endeavour to  ensure that each child has the opportunity to reach his or her potential. Team teaching is employed to provide programmes of Literacy Lift Off  and Maths Blast station teaching. Teachers work together in teams to plan and deliver intensive tuition  in language, reading, writing and numeracy. The children work in groups at their level of attainment pitched at just the right level to ensure each child experiences success. 

Physical Activity

We were awarded our first Active School Flag in 2015 and  all pupils are benefitting from a school culture which promotes health and well being.  In 2019 school year we successfully achieved our second Active School Flag. In 2022 we achieved our third flag. We will strive to obtain our fourth active flag in the 2024-2025 school year.

Music

Scoil Mhuire gan Smál participates in the Music Generation programme. Children have the opportunity to learn how to play the ukulele as part of our involvement in this initiative.

School Concerts

We have a great tradition of promoting music and drama in our school and each year our pupils have the opportunity to take part in a Christmas Concert or Funky Kids Show .
