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.
Scoil Chroí Íosa is a provider of high-quality education to students from Blarney and its surrounding area.
As a professional body of teachers, the staff are committed to working in partnership with parents to ensure every child reaches their full potential in a happy and stimulating learning environment. 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.
I hope that you will find this website useful and informative, the staff and I look forward to sharing your child’s educational journey with you.

Ms. Walsh’s 6th Class had an absolute blast with gymnastics over the past few weeks! From balancing to tumbling, they’ve shown amazing energy, teamwork, and skill 🤸🏼🤸🏻♀️
🍅👩🍳 Little chefs in action! Today’s class with The Cool Food School was a big hit! The children enjoyed an engaging and interactive session, learning how to make delicious tomato bruschetta—chopping, mixing, and tasting their way through a fun and hands-on food adventure. So much laughter, learning, and proud smiles all around! 🥖✨ #ScoilChroiIosa

We think this Daisy Chain, made by children in Ms O Callaghan’s 2nd/3rd class, might be the longest ever created. At 2m 53cm, it stretched all the way from the floor up to the ceiling of our classroom!! #Scoil Chroí Íosa #maths #nature #creativity
Learning in our vast green areas or “The Field” as the children affectionately refer to it, is a really favourite part of the school day. These open spaces are used for break times, P.E., S.E.S.E. and are even used for lessons such as music in the fine weather — supporting physical activity, teamwork and fun!
Unstructured play in natural spaces gives children the freedom to explore, move, and build confidence. Did you know we have an Outdoor classroom and a Woodland classroom that are specifically designed for this purpose also?
