School Curriculum

Cahir National School is committed to the aims and principles of the Primary Curriculum (1999) (available at www.ncca.ie) which seeks to enable each child:

​

• to live a full life as a child and realise his/her potential as a unique individual

• to develop as a social being, through living and co-operating with others and so contribute to the good of society

• to prepare for further education and lifelong learning.

​

The Primary Curriculum provides a wide range of learning experiences that help a child to acquire particular knowledge, ideas and skills that will promote his/her development at every stage from Junior Infants to Sixth Class.
