About Our School
Bishop Ahern National School is located in Leamlara, Co. Cork, (Eircode T56 NH57). Since opening its doors in 1986 the school has expanded and grown. The school caters for boys and girls from Junior Infants to 6th class. Our current enrolment stands at 163 children.
We are a co-ed school under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Cloyne.
Our school is guided by a highly trained staff of the Principal, 6 mainstream teachers, 2 Autism class teachers, 6 resource learning support teachers and10 special needs assistants, all with special skills and interests. The work in all the classes is progressively developed to provide a holistic, inclusive, child-centered education. This contributes to a very thorough academic and social preparation for Secondary School.
