Our School
​

Scoil Phobail Bhéara opened in 1980 as a result of an amalgamation between Méan Scoil Naomh Iosaf run by the Mercy Sisters and Castletownbere Vocational School run by Co. Cork VEC. The school is situated in Castletownbere and provides a second level education for all students from ages 12-19 in the Beara Peninsula. The school has continued to grow over the past 34 years.

t is a mixed ability school and the staff strives to use a variety of teaching methodologies which enhance learning. It is our ambition that we endeavour to become an Assessment for Learning (AFL) school. We recognise the importance of partnership between home and school and the need to encourage the student voice. We give every opportunity to each student to reach his or her full potential.

School Motto

"Ní Neart go cur le Chéile" / "Strength in Unity"

The power of a team pulling together, working for the same goal, striving to reach a common destination, is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Teachers, Parents, Students, Board of Management and Community, all striving for the same goal: provision of excellence.
