Primary schools in the Bray area

Dubgal72 · 2012-01-14 23:12:07

I'd appreciate any advice/feedback on primary schools in the Bray area. My ideal school would be non-denominational and Irish speaking (or at least teaches Irish through an immersion-oral principle), with an ethos that doesn't treat the school process as a crowd-control cattle market experience. Are there any schools out…

My ideal school would be non-denominational and Irish speaking (or at least teaches Irish through an immersion-oral principle), with an ethos that doesn't treat the school process as a crowd-control cattle market experience. Are there any schools out there that have a bit of a spark, that explore the possibilities of what education could be?

There are public non-denominational primary schools in Ireland . There are multi-denom schools however.
Two threads below I came across.

Thanks for that. UiCheadaigh is under consideration but as I am an agnostic I would prefer the school not to favour any one particular religion.

Not sure if the Gaelscoileanna there are multi-denom or not, worth ringing to find out. Our Gaelscoil in under Catholic patronage, but we have children of many different/no religion too. The next nearest Gaelscoil to us in multi-denom,so check with the schools you are interest in.

A word to the wise, Gaelscoileanna are usually in huge demand and may operate a siblings/then 1st come first served policy, so the sooner you get moving,the better.
