No letter for St Columbas N.S.
Ireland publishes no exam results school by school, and section 53 of the Education Act 1998 restricts comparing schools by them, so this school has no letter and nothing here ranks it. Its facts are the Department of Education’s; its inspection reports are linked below.
What the Department of Education does publish for St Columbas N.S. is on this page: its pupils each September since 2015/16, girls and boys, its patron and ethos, whether it teaches through Irish, whether it is in DEIS, and its inspection reports.
Newspapers print lists of how many of a school’s leavers go on to college. Those count destinations, not exam results, and depend on who a school takes in; we don’t use them.

Questions about St Columbas N.S.
Is St Columbas N.S. a good school?
We don’t grade it: Ireland publishes no exam results school by school, and section 53 of the Education Act 1998 restricts comparing them. Its inspection reports on gov.ie, a visit and a talk with the principal will tell you more than any table could.
How many pupils does St Columbas N.S. have?
377 pupils in 2025/26. That is −6% since 2019/20.
Does St Columbas N.S. teach through Irish?
No: St Columbas N.S. teaches in English, with Irish as a subject.
Who runs St Columbas N.S.?
St Columbas N.S. has a Catholic ethos. Its patron is Bishop of Cork & Ross.
How do pupils get a place at St Columbas N.S.?
Apply to the school directly. It publishes an admission policy and a yearly admission notice with its dates; if more children apply than it has places, it admits on the criteria in its policy.
Which schools of the same kind are near St Columbas N.S.?
The nearest are Douglas B N.S. (0.2 km), Scoil an Athair Tadhg O Murchu (0.4 km) and St Lukes N.S. Douglas (0.5 km).
