Welcome to Scoil Mhuire, Borrisokane.
Scoil Mhuire was originally The Boys School, which was built in 1949. Following an amalgamation with the Convent National School, we opened our doors, as a co-educational school, to pupils for the first time in 1997. The school has an established and proud tradition of teaching and learning. It has been the starting point of education for many people in Borrisokane.
In Scoil Mhuire we aim to provide a happy, secure, caring and respectful atmosphere. We are a school which believes in the value of every child and adult who enters our doors. Our purpose is to know all our pupils well and focus on them as individuals. We intend that each child feels special and valued within themselves. We believe that positive educational experiences are central to a child’s learning journey throughout a holistic curriculum.
We praise and encourage each child to believe in their own ability to achieve. Hand in hand with their academic learning goes their Social Personal and Health Education and wellbeing. Your child’s happiness is central to the ethos of Scoil Mhuire Borrisokane. We can offer your child an exemplary positive start to the development of literacy, numeracy, Irish, geographical, historical, scientific, musical, dramatic, physical, religious, social, personal and health skills.
Scoil Mhuire is a Catholic school under the patronage of the Bishop of Killaloe, Fintan Monahan. We are an inclusive school, open to children of all faiths and none.

Our school is representative of all aspects that we take pride in. It was derived from our pupils and chosen by our pupils. The key represents the knowledge and experiences all children will unlock while on their learning journey in Scoil Mhuire. It also represents the Diocese of Killaloe. The three children jumping represent the mindful, fun, active and involved learning style we promote in Scoil Mhuire for the teaching of all pupils.
