Our Ethos

Liscarroll N.S. is a Catholic School under the patronage of the Bishop of Cloyne and aims to instil moral, Christian values in the pupils.



Our Mission

To create a culture such that each pupil, through positive learning experiences, will be stimulated to achieve his/her full potential and to face life confidently, finding fulfilment and respect in a changing world.

Welcome to Liscarroll N.S. 

As Principal of Liscarroll NS, I welcome you to our school website. We hope it gives you an insight into the life of our school. Liscarroll NS is a rural  co-educational with 5 Special classes . It is a welcoming, happy school, where we all work together for the benefit of the pupils who attend here. The well being and academic progress of every pupil is a priority.

As a staff, we strive to develop an open, positive relationship with both pupils and parents . We value and look after the needs of every child and aim to ensure that all of our pupils enjoy their time here.  We recognise that learning is a lifelong process, and believe that the foundation we lay with children today, will help them to develop their talents to their full potential and to grow into confident caring members of the community . Mutual respect for each other and regard for each other’s viewpoints within our school community permeates the wide range of activities that are carried out within the school. We believe that a child learns best through participation and active learning  in a supportive environment. This involves partnership with the parents of our school.

Through this website we hope to give you an insight into all of the events occurring during and after school in Liscarroll NS. It showcases the talents and achievements of our wonderful pupils. In addition, our website outlines our school’s policies, practices and procedures while also informing you about new developments in our school.

Hurling Wall 

There was great excitement around the school this week with the arrival of the new hurling wall.  This is of great benefit to our own school, as well as the entire community.  Special thanks to Tim Brosnan for project managing.  

Notice:

The school facilitates parents and children by making rooms available for activities outside of school hours conducted by private individuals who are Independent Contractors. These activities are not part of the school curriculum and are not regulated by the school which only provides facilities to enable these independent contractors and parents to make arrangements between themselves. Parents discharge any fees payable directly to the independent contractor who is responsible for all aspects of the service provided. Contractors have their own insurance. While the school makes every effort to facilitate all parties, neither the Board of Management of the school nor the trustees of the Parish can accept any liability whatsoever for any matter arising in connection with such activities or in neglect or default of any such independent contractor whatsoever.
