Crehana National School is a co-educational primary school with a Catholic ethos, located just a few kilometres from Carrick-On-Suir. We proudly serve the vibrant communities of Carrick-On-Suir and Crehana, offering a warm and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.

Our school is a small rural school with a welcoming atmosphere. At Crehana N.S., we strive to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where every child is valued, and individual differences are celebrated. We believe that every student has the potential to thrive, both academically and personally.

In addition to our strong academic program, students at Crehana N.S. enjoy a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are not only challenged in the classroom but also encouraged to develop their interests and talents outside of it.

Our school is equipped with excellent facilities to enhance the learning experience. These include interactive panels in every classroom, 28 iPads, a sensory room, a grass pitch, hard-surface yard area, a sensory outdoor play area and a spacious hall. 

Over the past few years Crehana N.S. has secured grant funding for significant upgrades. These include a complete revamp of all our electrical works, 7 solar panels generating a 6 kW system,  and, of course, our beautiful sensory garden.

We deeply value the role of parents as the primary educators of their children and encourage their active involvement in school life. Our strong sense of community, closeness, and pride has been central to our school’s identity since its foundation. Parents can also participate in our Parents’ Council, playing a key role in school initiatives.

At Crehana National School, we are committed to providing a high standard of education that supports the holistic development of each child, ensuring they reach their full potential.
