Burncourt National School is situated in the village of Burncourt Co. Tipperary. Our school is located on a large site consisting of an abundance of playground space, a sensory garden, a pitch and a large astro space which was opened in 2022.
There is a vast amount of space for the children to enjoy at break times. The Community Council kindly allow our school the use of the community hall.
In 2018 our school became a six teacher school. Our small classroom numbers allow the children to take part in many different activities such as the BT Young Scientist exhibition, Seachtain na Gaeilge, GAA, Christmas play, Irish dancing, Tin whistle lessons, Tag rugby, Yoga, Drama, Quizzes, Active Week, Athletics, Soccer, School tours, Green Schools, Active Schools, Amber Flag and Health promotion activities. Our school caters for all of our children's talents and strengths.
In September 2017 our school opened an AS class called the Purple classroom. Our second AS class will open this September.
