For a bright future.

Welcome to Scoil Phádraig Naofa.

I am delighted to have this opportunity to show you our school. As you will see we have lovely bright classrooms and great resources but it is the people of Scoil Phádraig Naofa who make it such a special place. We are very proud of the children in our school. They are curious, kind talented individuals and it is a pleasure to work with them each day. 

We are lucky to have a staff who have a huge interest in their pupils. They spend time getting to know them individually and understanding how they learn. That positive relationship between staff and pupils is very important in creating a meaningful learning environment. Staff work in teams to ensure that the children are challenged to work to the best of their ability and actively engage in lessons that develop skills and bring learning to life. 

They say ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and our location within Bandon town sees us benefit hugely from the facilities of the town and the support of its people, businesses and organisations. We are a diverse inclusive community and our school reflects the growing developing town it serves. Scoil Phádraig Naofa has a long standing educational tradition in Bandon. Today we continue that tradition by working together to support children to be well rounded individuals and responsible citizens who make positive contributions to the communities in which they live.
