School History

Scoil Bhride, New Inn, is situated approximately 14km north east of Loughrea town. It is located in the parish of New Inn, an area renowned for its rich traditions in farming, hurling, music, religious devotion, neighbourly co-operation and support.

Scoil Bhride, as the name suggests, is a Catholic School under the Patronage of the Archbishop of Clonfert. While we welcome pupils of all nationalities we stress that we are primarily a Catholic School with a very defined Catholic Ethos where the Alive-O programme is taught daily. Prior to the enrolment of non-Catholic children, clarification should be sought from the Principal on this matter.

The principal, staff and Board of Management welcome you to our school. It provides a sound and creative education for the young children of the area. Programmes are suitably chosen and adapted to suit the needs of the times. These programmes provide the children with a well rounded education and explore and develop all their talents. Extracurricular activities are also provided such as hurling and camogie training, athletics, French classes etc…..

Parents are a vital component of the school community and a good relationship with them is very important. They are encouraged to become actively involved in their children’s education. In developing this mutual positive relationship, children feel safe and secure within the school and therefore their school lives are enhanced.
A Parents Committee has recently been established within the school. They promote general interest in the welfare of the school. They help organise various activities within the school, and also through social events and draws, provide finance for new and improved facilities in the school.

It is vital that parents, teachers and children work together. It is equally important that the children see the school as a safe/secure environment where they know the rules and what is acceptable behaviour/work. . Please do not hesitate to meet with us and we will be pleased to answer questions and to discuss any issues in greater detail.

Mise le meas,

Diarmaid Burns .
