Place & story
From separate schools to one community
Askeaton formerly had separate infant, girls’ and boys’ national schools. The school’s own history records their reorganisation in 1978 into a junior school serving Junior Infants through Second Class and a senior school serving Third through Sixth Class. On 1 September 2022, the junior and senior schools amalgamated as Scoil Naomh Muire Eas Géitine. The successive arrangements show changes in how the town organised primary education, without establishing when the three original schools were founded. [2]
