About Us

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.  Its unique appeal results in a steady influx of new families who add to its richness and vibrancy.  

Scoil Bhride, as the name suggests, is a Catholic School under the Patronage of the Archbishop of Clonfert.  While we welcome and are inclusive to pupils of all religions, we stress that we are primarily a Catholic School with a very defined Catholic Ethos where Grow in Love and the Alive-O programme is taught daily. 

Our school consists of four multi-grade mainstream classes, Junior Infants/Senior Infants, 1st/2nd Class, 3rd/4th Class and 5th/6th Class and our 2 AS classes.  Our special education team provide extra support based on each child's needs.  We place a strong emphasis on early intervention and team teaching within the school.

The school aims to provide children with a well-rounded education, encourage the children to achieve their potential and develop their talents.  Teachers choose and adapt programmes to teach the Primary School Curriculum effectively to their students.  The teachers are very cognisant of the need to prepare children for a technologically developing society.  The school also engages in a variety of extra-curricular activities as all children excel in different ways.
