Heart centred learning in Bantry town
Welcome to St. Brendan’s National School RCN 20204946. We are a creative primary school at the heart of Bantry dedicated to give attention to every child.
More attention to every child
Inclusion
Diversity
Positivity
Creativity
We have always been a small primary school and we are happy that we can give more time and attention to the children than the bigger schools. Our school population is now 25 pupils.
Committed to diversity
The school has an international feel – it has been like this in recent years and was something that we wanted to focus on. It has come to pass now as we have had a large influx of Ukrainian children into the school – 14.
