Welcome to St. Brendan’s National School, a vibrant co-educational school located in the heart of Eyrecourt village. At our school, we pride ourselves on offering small class sizes, which allow us to provide the care and attention each child deserves. Our dedicated teachers and support staff work together to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

As a Rural DEIS school, we benefit from additional funding, training, and facilities to ensure that we meet the diverse needs of our students. This ethos supports our mission to provide equal opportunities and focus on academic excellence, literacy, and numeracy development. We also understand the day-to-day challenges parents face, which is why we take great pride in creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all of our children.

Our school is further enriched by the presence of a dedicated Special Education Teacher and a full-time SNA, ensuring that each child’s needs are met with individual attention. We also keep our school community informed through our monthly newsletters, providing updates and celebrating our achievements together.

Since September 2025, Eyrecourt NS has an onsite Pre-School (ECCE), facilitated by an established professional in the field. Additionally, for families enrolled in our school, we have onsite pre- and after-school services, where children can enjoy fun, creative, and imaginative indoor and outdoor activities before and after their school day.

Mission Statement

While meeting its Catholic Ethos, St. Brendan’s N.S. welcomes persons of all denominations.

In Partnership with the Board of Management, Parents and local Community, we strive to develop each child’s unique gifts and capabilities thus enabling him/her to grow into a responsible and caring member of a Christian Community.
