Caherelly National School is an eight teacher (5 mains stream teachers and 2 Special Education Teachers) school, situated in a rural setting in East Limerick. We are a short distance from Limerick city and 4 miles from Ballyneety village on the main Limerick/Kilmallock Road (R512). The pupil population has increased steadily in recent years. The school population spans the entire ability range.
Established in 1953 as a two teacher school we are now in the happy position of having newly renovated classrooms, a spacious p.e hall, a resource room and offices. We have a newly revamped playground and we enjoy free access to green fields adjoining school which we avail of weather permitting.
There is a strong sense of community spirit throughout the school & we enjoy a very good relationship with local clubs and associations.

Croke Park Hours
The school management implements the Croke Park Agreement, which stipulates that teachers work 36 additional hours over the course of the primary school year. This time is spent on school planning, continuous professional development, induction, policy development, supervision, staff meetings, nationally planned in-service and school arranged in-service.
School Self Evaluation
In accordance with the school Self-Evaluation Guidelines for Primary Schools, as directed by the Department of Education and Skills 2012, Caherelly N.S has engaged in the process of School Self Evaluation during the school year 2012/2013.
Information in the area of Literacy has been gathered from parents, children and teachers. Based on the findings of this data collected, a School Improvement Report has been drawn up. Judgements about the strengths and areas for development have been formulated.
In 2013/2014 we chose the area of Reading Comprehension as our area for development & a School Improvement Plan has been devised. This plan outlines the strategies to be implemented throughout the school.
All teachers will engage in this process. Through the implementation and monitoring of this plan, we endeavour to develop the comprehension skills of all the children in our school.
In 2014/2015 we we are continuing to engage in the process of School Self Evaluation.
