It’s a hard decision as we are so afraid of making the wrong call. However, the small numbers are definitely an advantage and not a disadvantage. My son has made good friends and is very fond of all the staff who he knows by name. He is very happy and looks forward to going into school every day, which as we all know is all we want for them!
A child will not disappear in a school like Bouleenshere. They get all the attention they need and are made to feel an important part of the culture of the school. All children gain experience in many different areas aside from the regular curriculum, which is so important for their confidence and social development. It is a school which is actively connected to the local community and amenities. It has a warm friendly atmosphere, very approachable staff, and an open-door policy for communication with all pupils and parents. Your child will be very happy there, it’s that simple.
I would say go for it. It’s a fantastic small knit school with so much emphasis on the students. With all the latest technology of white boards etc. in place the kids get to learn the modern way right from the start of their education. Also, Mr. Dineen the school principal is fantastic for getting the students involved in film making and other likewise projects and competitions around Ireland which is excellent for your child’s personality to grow to be confident and academically talented. My two were absolutely thrilled to see themselves on mainstream RTE News last week with their St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It was a lovely boost for the kids and all involved.
Lovely, small family like school with a lovely atmosphere. With small classes children get great attention. Excellent teachers and staff, who all have great time for the children and are very approachable, friendly and welcoming. My child wouldn’t have picked anywhere else if given the choice and has always looked forward to going to school. We are very glad we picked this school for our child.

Go for it! My son has greatly benefited from attending Bouleenshere. He has grown in confidence and is made feel an important part of the school by participating in activities such as film making, art projects and gardening in the school grounds. I think he would have been lost in a larger school, perhaps shrinking into the background, but he has absolutely flourished at this school and I would not hesitate to recommend Bouleenshere to any prospective parent.
Attend the school and watch how open and honest students are. The kids are learning in an environment that is innocent and free of rigidity.
Definitely consider sending your children here. The small class size is very unique, no overcrowded classes. They also do a lot of extra activities such as draughts, film making and a lot of outdoor play/teaching. My daughter is always happy when she comes home from school.
Go for it. You will not regret it, both my child and myself are so happy we chose Bouleenshere. It’s a fabulous school all the children are so happy there.
If you want your child to be happy and love going to school, send them to Bouleenshere.
In Scoil Naomh Iosef we believe that education and learning come in many guises. We encourage every child to develop their own creativity in a safe and happy environment where learning by doing, experimenting, and sharing is the norm.
