Where are we?
Our school is situated in Killeen on the west coast of Ireland. We are located seven kilometres west of the village of Louisburgh in the parish of Kilgeever, approximately twenty eight kilometres from Westport. The current school building opened in 1975 as a result of an amalgamation of Carrowniskey, Killadoon and Thallabawn national schools. The school is in a beautiful setting with breathtaking views of the surrounding Mweelrea Mountains, Croagh Patrick and the Atlantic Ocean incorporating the islands of Clare Island, Mweelán, Inisturk and on a clear day, Inishbofin.

Our school caters for pupils from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. There are four class teachers, which includes three mainstream and one special class - 'Sunbeams', a full time S.E.T., a shared S.E.T., two special needs assistants, after-school co-ordinator, part-time secretary and cleaner. We opened our special class, 'Sunbeams' on the 31st August 2015. This class offers an interactive and specific curriculum and learning environment for children with disabilities within a mainstream, co-educational national school. This setting facilitates optimum inclusion as part of the school community, with much integration and access to mainstream activities.
We are very proud of our new facilities following the recent extension and renovations. We now boast a state of the art school, thanks in no small way to the ongoing generosity of all who donate so generously to our building fund and fundraising by Killeen School & Community Lotto. We are also very proud of our talented students and our deeply committed and highly skilled staff, who together work to help make our school community so special.
We are a primary school with a Catholic ethos, under the patronage of the Diocese of Tuam, and we also welcome children of all faiths.
