The Irish translation of Corrandrum (Corr and Droma) means “the hill on the ridge”.

This new school was a three-roomed school with three additional shelters at the back of the school. In the late 1970’s a fourth room was added to the school along with the development of a play area and football pitch…

Our vision is of a literate and numerate child leaving the school, who is well-balanced, confident, content, responsible and independent in all aspects of his/her future life.
We want him/her also to be able to contribute positively to society in a balanced, well thought-out manner, while retaining respect for him/herself, others and the world.
