About
Little Flower National School offers an active, vibrant and challenging learning environment for its pupils. All classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and well‑stocked class libraries that are regularly refreshed, encouraging both avid and reluctant readers to explore a wide range of texts. The school’s curriculum places discovery and “doing” at its centre, allowing children to experiment, play and develop their natural curiosity through hands‑on activities. Cultural and artistic pursuits are woven throughout the programme. Visiting artists in the performing and visual arts enrich the timetable, while a strong musical tradition sees pupils participating in daily music sessions, choir, and musical theatre productions accompanied by a live orchestra. The school also provides ample indoor and outdoor space for sporting and creative endeavours, fostering healthy, well‑rounded individuals. Guided by a Christian ethos and a commitment to equality, the school strives to create a caring community where every child is valued, diversity is respected and each learner is supported to reach their full academic, personal and social potential.
