About
Trinity Primary School is a caring, inclusive and innovative primary school situated in Tuam, County Galway. The school’s ethos centres on creating a welcoming, safe and respectful environment where every pupil feels valued and motivated to learn. Emphasising the Irish motto “Ní neart go cur le chéile” (strength in unity), the community works collaboratively to achieve the best possible education for each child. The curriculum is delivered through a variety of modern teaching methods, including station teaching, specialised literacy and numeracy programmes and a comprehensive behaviour framework. A broad range of after‑school clubs – from sports and creative arts to STEM and enrichment activities – provides pupils with opportunities to explore interests and develop talents beyond the classroom. The school operates across three campuses, each equipped to support the diverse needs of its learners, and offers regular events such as Open Nights, Grandparents Day and a school‑wide lotto to foster community spirit and parental involvement.

- Christmas Holidays: Wed 23 Dec 2026 – Tue 5 Jan 2027
