The school serves the island's families and maintains a close relationship with the local community. It provides second level education within the public system and is part of the Committee's countywide network.
The school and its place
The school's character reflects its location and the community it serves. Staff know the local primary schools and the families who make the journey into second level each year.
Island schools must plan carefully around ferry timetables, weather and the small size of the community. That context shapes the school day and the relationship between staff, families and the island.
Learning
The school follows the national curriculum and offers junior cycle and senior cycle programmes. Subject choices and programme options vary, so families should consult the school's current prospectus. Support is available for students with additional needs, and the school plans transitions with primary schools and with further education providers.
Beyond the classroom
Sport, music, trips and community projects add to school life. The school also takes part in county and national programmes that broaden what students can try. The exact activities change from year to year.
Admission
Each school publishes its admission arrangements and application dates. Contact the school directly for a prospectus and for advice about a place. The Committee's education office can help with general questions about the network.
