Primary Langauge Curriculum
A new Primary Language Curriculum has been developed by the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NCCA) and has been introduced for Junior Infants to 2nd classes. The curriculum for 3rd-6th classes is being introduced in the school year 2019-2020.

National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA)
The NCCA is currently undertaking a review of the Primary School Curriculum and RPNS is one of the schools that is part of a forum which the NCCA has established to examine the curriculum, and discuss changes that would bring it up to date with the educational needs of primary school children. We hope to pilot some innovative educational ideas over the coming months/year. The public consultation phase is now closed.
