The Outdoor Primary School CLG

The Outdoor Primary School Company Limited by Guarantee is a non‑traditional, outdoor‑centred primary school that will open its doors to pupils in September 2026. Based on the picturesque grounds of SEK, the school’s one‑acre woodland serves as a living classroom where children learn through direct engagement with nature while still following the Irish Curriculum. By blending practical skills, well‑being programmes and emotional education, the school aims to nurture lifelong learners whose natural curiosity evolves into purposeful, inquiry‑driven study.

The school’s ethos rests on three core pillars – Nature, Nurture and Knowledge. Students spend their days in wellies, exploring the ever‑changing environment, while the on‑site hub provides a base for reflection and collaborative projects. The programme places equal emphasis on physical health, mental resilience and academic rigour, delivering an inquiry‑based approach that turns questions into discoveries. Families interested in this innovative model can register their interest now and look forward to enrolment for the 2026 intake.
