Education Primary Schools
The United Dioceses of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory have a long-standing commitment to the life and work of Church of Ireland primary schools. These schools offer a holistic approach to education that values each child as an individual. Within a Christian ethos, they aim to foster an environment of care, inclusion, and mutual respect. Children are encouraged to develop their full potential – intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The dioceses work closely with boards of management, school leaders, and parish communities to ensure that the unique character of each school is supported and celebrated. The Patron of our Schools is the Bishop of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory.
