Our Mission Statement
At Scoil Mocheallóg, we aim to create a warm, inclusive and child-centred school where every pupil feels safe, valued and supported to reach their full potential. Rooted in our Catholic tradition, we welcome and respect children and families of all faiths, cultures and backgrounds.
We are committed to nurturing each child’s intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative development in a caring and positive environment. We value diversity and inclusion, and strive to ensure that all pupils experience a strong sense of belonging.
Strong relationships and mutual respect guide our work. We believe in partnership between pupils, staff, parents and the wider community, and we work together to help children grow as confident, compassionate and capable learners.
We support the ongoing professional growth of our staff and aim to maintain a collaborative school culture where everyone can contribute, learn and thrive.

A Brief History of Scoil Mocheallóg
Scoil Mocheallóg was created in 2004 when Scoil Uí Eilí is Uí Ruairc, the Girls’ School and Scoil Peadar agus Pól, the Boys’ School amalgamated.
Scoil Uí Eilí is Uí Ruairc was established in 1929 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Paul. The teaching role of the Sisters in the school ended when Sr. Teresa Murphy retired in January 2012.
Scoil Peadar agus Pól was opened in 1966. For many years Scoil Peadar agus Pól educated all the boys of the town. The final Principal, Seán O’Connor retired in 2004, facilitating the amalgamation.
Following the official amalgamation of the two schools in 2004, Scóil Mocheallóg operated in two separate locations until April 2017. All pupils moved into our current building in April 2017.
