Welcome – Fáilte

Fáilte go dtí Scoil Iognáid de Rís.

CBS Primary School is a Catholic Primary School under the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust (ERST). Our current school building first opened its doors in 1953 and prior to this shared a site with the CBS Secondary School.

Thursday, August 31st 2023 proved to be a momentous day in the history of Scoil Iognáid de Rís. We enrolled Junior Infant girls and boys and opened our very first Autism Class. This was our first step in becoming a fully vertical co-educational school. We are looking forward to welcoming Junior Infants to First Class girls and boys to our school in September. We also cater for boys from Second Class to Sixth Class.

Our dedicated and caring staff are committed to providing a safe and happy environment where all our pupils can reach their full potential. We aim to prepare every student in our school for further education and lifelong learning.
