Scoil Réalt Na Mara
Ballycotton, Co Cork
Welcome To Scoil Réalt Na Mara
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Scoil Réalt na Mara N.S. website which I hope will give you an insight into the school spirit and culture. We are a co-educational Catholic school under the patronage of Bishop William Crean. This small and vibrant school is embedded in the community and we pride ourselves in the welcoming atmosphere.
Our coastal setting lends to hands on investigative learning in our natural environmental surroundings and the children go on annual field trips to the beach or cliff walk. We believe every child is unique. We strive to meet each child's individual needs and give them every opportunity to shine. I feel privileged to work with such highly professional, dedicated and innovative staff. Their commitment and drive will be evident as you browse through the website.
We are greatly supported by a proactive Board of Management and an enthusiastic and motivated Parents Council who together help us achieve our goals.
This website will give you a sense of the vibrancy within our community where a myriad of activities take place enabling the growth and development of well rounded children.
My sincere thanks to all involved.
