Bunscoil an Iúir – Is your child for school or nursery in September?
January 10, 2013
Is your child for school or nursery in September? Have you ever thought about Irish-medium Education for your child? Would you like your child to be fluent in Irish? More and more parents are considering Irish-medium education for their children.
Did you know that South Armagh and South Down has a growing Irish-medium Edcation Sector. We have Naíscoileanna (Nurseries) in Newry, Camlough and Jonesboro and Bunscoil an Iúir (Irish-medium primary school) in Newry. There is also post primary provision in Armagh and Castlewellan.
School transport is available to children attending Bunscoil an Iúir from Whitecross through to Camlough and into the Bunscoil, from Hilltown and Mayobridge and from Meigh. Educational Attainment levels are high and we have statistical evidence from CCEA to support this. Our children are happy at school and so are their parents.
At the Bunscoil we have an early bird club which is a great help to working parents, a homework club and an afterschools club. Parents you do not have to speak Irish for your child to attend Irish-medium education.
Currently there is a total of around 90 schools in the North providing Irish-medium Education to almost 5,000 children at pre-school, primary and post primary level. The Irish-medium sector has been growing steadily in recent years and this growth looks set to continue with new schools opening every year. Irish-medium schools welcome children from all faiths and backgrounds.
Before you decide where your child will go this year – come in and see us.
