Welcome to Our School

There is evidence from dúchas.ie that suggests an older thatched school dating back to pre-Famine times preceded the present building. A hedge school in turn was in operation before that building. People in the area are very proud of the heritage of Cloghans NS and its long-standing presence in the community.
The school consists of two spacious mainstream classrooms with an additional classroom which is used by the Special Education Teacher.
The Junior room caters for classes from Junior Infants to Second Class. Due to the small numbers children receive one to one attention and have ample opportunity to engage with structured concrete materials and play materials to help them to do the work of children, play.
The Senior room caters for students from third to sixth class. The children enjoy working with technology and participating in STEM and cooking activities. They have participated in the Discovery Primary Science Programme.
