About Clondrinagh National School
Clondrinagh National School is a small rural school in the parish of Lissycasey/Ballynacally, Co. Clare. It is situated 20 km from Ennis.
With just 22 children enrolled at present, we are in an ideal position to give each child individual attention every day.
The school is open from 9.15 a.m. and classes begin at 9.30 a.m. Morning break is at 11.00 a.m. and lunch is from 12.30 p.m. to 1.00 p.m. The school day ends at 3.10 p.m.
The strong emphasis we place on science in our school was recognised in September 2005 when we were presented with an "Award of Science Excellence" for our work in the Discover Primary Science project.
We had great fun doing the experiments throughout the year and the award ceremony in Limerick was excellent. Part of our prize was a digital microscope which is brilliant.

Computers / I.T. are used in all classes from Junior Infants. |
All strands of the revised Physical Education Curriculum are covered throughout the school. The children have the opportunity to play on the Lissycasey/Ballynacally parish Primary School teams (boys and girls) in the annual Cumann na mBunscol football leagues. They also receive coaching from experienced hurling and football coaches each year. |

Music is considered a high priority and all children learn to read music and play recorder. We hold an annual Concert in the school where we get the opportunity to perform for the community. We go on a school tour every year. In addition, trips to music and drama events are frequently organised. |
