Vision Statement.

Scoil Eimhín Naofa is a Catholic School.

We are committed to:-

	The development of each child's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, creative and physical potential
	The promotion of a caring child centred learning environment influenced by the teaching and example of Jesus Christ - cultivating Christian values, respect, self-esteem and co-operation
	Showing special care for the less privileged and those at risk
	Making the school a centre of excellence in which high professional standards are maintained, developing partnership between teaching staff, ancillary staff, parents, management and the "local community".

Book Rental

There is a Book Rental Scheme in operation in the school. A dedicated group of parents and people associated with the school work hard in the administration of this facility. It has huge benefits for the pupils who pay a fee for the use of the books each year which is less costly than individual purchase of books. The cost in this school year is 20 euro.

Whole School Evaluation
In May 2006 our school was evaluated by the inspectorate. The published report can be accessed at http://www.education.ie/servlet/blobservlet/report1_15769C.htm?language=EN
