Principal (Ref. No. 015522)
Croí na Coille Community National School
Fedamore, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick
Roll Number: 14067L

Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board has confirmed that Fedamore National School in County Limerick is set to embark on a new chapter as a Community National School (CNS) under the ETB’s patronage. The development, anticipated for the upcoming school year, is a significant step in the expansion of educational choice in the area for parents seeking to avail of a multidenominational education for their children. Community National Schools offer a co-educational, multi-denominational learning environment that prioritises excellence in education, care, respect, equality and community. Further to the Department of Education’s recent announcement of the transfer of patronage follows a consultative process between the Catholic Diocese of Limerick, the school community, the Department of Education and the Education and Training Board. This new development reflects Fedamore National School’s continuing commitment to providing a welcoming space for students of all backgrounds.

The new Community National School will be child-centred, inspired by the principles of Steiner and forest school education, while also delivering the entire national primary curriculum in accordance with the Department of Education. It will aim to concentrate on developing the whole child and emphasise the importance of physical, emotional, social and spiritual development as much as intellectual development. It is also expected that children currently enrolled at the Croí na Coille independent primary school located at Buttercup Farm in Croom will transfer to the new Croí na Coille Community National School in Fedamore.
