Subjects
The Primary School Curriculum was developed by the NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) and launched in 1999. The curriculum incorporates the child centred principles of its predecessor, Curaclam na Bunscoile (1971). It identifies three primary aims of primary education:
  • to enable the child to live a full life as a child and to realise his or her potential as a unique individual
  • to enable the child to develop as a social being through living and co-operating with others and so contribute to the good of society
  • to prepare the child for further education and lifelong learning.

The new Primary Language curriculum (2019) builds on skills in both languages supporting teachers to provide experiences for children that will allow them to reach their full potential.

The curriculum is learner-centred. It emphasises the importance of literacy, numeracy, and language, while at the same time responding to changing needs in science and technology, social personal and health education, and citizenship. The curriculum is presented in six subject areas comprising 11 subjects. The development and implementation of the curriculum in religious education in primary schools remains the responsibility of the relevant patron bodies.
  
Subjects: English, Gaeilge, Mathematics, Social Environmental and Scientific Education (SESE comprising History, Geography & Science), Visual Arts, Music, Drama, Physical Education and Social Personal Health Education (SPHE)

School Uniform Policy
Children are required to wear the school uniform.  This comprises of a light blue shirt, royal blue V-neck jumper and grey pants.  Girls may also wear a grey pinafore or grey skirt with grey tights or socks. 
Children are also permitted to wear grey tracksuit bottoms (tight fitting) and we are introducing a new school half-zip which was piloted this year (2020).  It is vitally important that each item of uniform should be clearly marked with the name of the pupil.

Extra-Curricular Activities:
Cappataggle NS has a long tradition in Gaelic Games having achieved great successes in both hurling and Gaelic football.  We also offer the children a wide and variety of other activities such as debating, quizzing, swimming lessons and Ceidlidh Band.

Post Covid we look forward to adding to this list further.

We are greatly supported by a strong and active Parents Association and Board of Management whose support we could not work
without.

Parents Association Committee Members: Mary Naughton, Laura Madden

Board of Management:

Chairperson – Michael Hannon
Secretary – Shane Dervan

Other Relevant Details:
Children have access to the school transport system where the child meets the required criteria.

We also have use of the adjoining Astro turf and Playground and the local GAA Pitch for matches etc.

The school runs many other activities throughout the school year all with the view to enhancing the whole school experience for our children.
