Facilities

It operates from each morning and is open to all pupils. It offers toast, and water. This is a social, relaxed start to the day where the children meet their friends and chat.

Healthy school lunches are delivered fresh to the school each day and are free to each child. They are provided by a local Wexford company called Fresh Today and are funded by the Department of Social Protection.

Fresh Today deliver hot lunches that are individually labelled and hand crafted as per your child’s order.

The children can select from a healthy menu with a different choice every day. The school lunches are very much in keeping with Healthy Eating Policy of the school and the Health Promoting Schools project which has been ongoing in the schools since 2014.

We have three special classes for children with Autism catering for children from Junior Infants to Second class.

We call these classes 'Glaisín' which means a little stream, making the link with the Maudlins Stream.

Glaisín has a Sensory Room, a Para educational room and a central activities area, as well as the classrooms and the withdrawal rooms.

Each class can cater for up to six pupils with one teacher and two SNAs in each class.

We are delighted to have in our newly built school a state of the art general purpose hall which is used for many different school activities on a daily basis. Classes use the hall for their weekly PE lessons. It is also used for numerous other activities: assembly, drama lessons, exhibitions, sports coaching in hurling and football, school concerts etc.

The school hall is also used by our on-site play school.

Parking

There is parent parking on the Bawnmore.

The drop-off areas in the grounds of the school are for parents of children attending the playschool and for pupils in Glaisín.

There is a great sense of space surrounding our school and pupils play in different areas of the yard during break times according to their age group. This is for safety reasons and to try to minimise accidents.

The Men’s Shed very generously donated a ‘Buddy Bench’. The children will create designs and decorate Buddy Benches for each class area as part of the anti-bullying action plan for this year. The Buddy Bench Programme is a school based positive mental health programme that empowers children to foster friendships and eliminate loneliness in the playground.

The school has CCTV for your child’s protection and security.
