16th Apr 2026

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Eirinn from Scoil Spreagtha to see, hear and experience the use of Irish in our school.  Eirinn delivered a workshop to Rang a Sé which truly brought the initiative to life.  We are extremely grateful for the enthusiasm, energy and commitment shown by Eirinn and the Scoil Spreagtha team.

Scoil Spreagtha is a celebratory, accredited scheme that recognises and encourages the efforts of English-medium schools to promote and increase the use of Irish throughout the school environment.

This scheme aims to:

✨ Support schools in incorporating Irish throughout the school environment

✨ Provide resources that help embed the language naturally

✨ Encourage everyday conversational Irish as part of normal school life

✨ Support staff and pupils in using Irish phrases relevant to daily routines

✨ Promote regular opportunities for everyone to build vocabulary and confidence

 

Maith thú dár bpáistí agus ár bhfoireann ar fad (Well done to our children and our staff) 👏

 

Le chéile, táimid ag spreagadh na Gaeilge! (Together, we are encouraging the Irish language)! 💚
