Welcome
It gives me great pleasure, as Principal of Fatima National School to welcome you to our school website. This website has been prepared in the hope that it will become a valuable source of school news and information for parents, pupils, and visitors to the site.

On our website, you can check out photos of some of the many events that take place in our school.

We at Fatima National School are very proud of the school with its rich tradition of teaching and learning, together with sporting activity and community involvement.

Along with the Board of Management, we take great pride in providing a safe and secure learning environment for all children of varying abilities and needs. Our entire staff is committed to establishing and maintaining a school environment that allows our pupils to grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

Our website will be updated regularly to provide visitors with updated notices, bulletins and other news on a variety of subjects.

Fatima National School is a small, vibrant, rural school under Patronage of the Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise. Children are taught to respect and appreciate each other. Our children are encouraged and motivated in a nurturing atmosphere to use their talents and fulfil their unique potential.

We are a four teacher school with three mainstream class teachers and a Special Educational Needs (S.E.T.) teacher. We have one full time Special Needs Assistant (S.N.A.) The school also employs a part time caretaker and secretary.

The children who attend Fatima National School are taught the subjects as laid out in the New Curriculum – English, Irish, Maths, History, Geography, Science, (S.E.S.E.), Social, Personal & Health Education, Music, Drama, Arts & Crafts and Physical Education.

All children take part in GAA activities and other sports throughout the year. In addition, children in 1st-6th class are taught to play the tin whistle. Over the past two years pupils from Junior Infants to 6th class are involved with Music Generation. Pupils from 2nd-6th classes also have the option of Ukulele lessons.

We are lucky to have the benefit of large grounds around the school, including a football pitch, vegetable and fruit garden.
