Our website hopes to provide an insight into the everyday life of our school including the wonderful and unique opportunities that are afforded to the children of Scoil Chroí Íosa. The website also contains lots of valuable information for parents and those in the wider community.

The school aims to promote full and harmonious development of all aspects of the child. We foster a love of learning, working to the best of one’s ability and developing a sense of respect and responsibility amongst our pupils.

With the above in mind, I am always extremely grateful to the hard work and goodwill of our Parents, Pupils, Teachers, SNAs, Secretaries & Caretaker, as well as our Parents Association, Board of Management and the wider community of Blarney; all of whom help make Scoil Chroí Íosa the unique, warm and welcoming school that it is.

🎉 Frása na Seachtaine 🎉 This week’s Irish phrase is: “Gabh mo leithscéal, a mhúinteoir.” 🙋‍♀️🇮🇪 📚✨ That means “Excuse me, teacher.” or “Pardon me, teacher.” Use it politely in class – 👉 Gabh mo leithscéal, a mhúinteoir, an bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas? (Excuse me, teacher, may I go to the toilet?) #FrásaNaSeachtaine #GaeilgeAbú #Gaelbhratach #ScoilChroíÍosa
There’s great magic in the classroom when Junior Infants start blending CVC words for the first time. The wonder, pride and joy as ‘c-a-t’ becomes ‘cat’, the penny drops and…they are actually reading! The moment sound and symbol click together, confidence begins to bloom and the wonderful world of reading opens before them. Is aoibhinn an rud é an chéad chéim bheag sin i saol na léitheoireachta!
