Burnfort National School is a co-educational, Roman Catholic Primary School under the patronage of Dr. William Crean, Bishop of Cloyne.

We hope that all children who attend the school will experience a nurturing environment; promoting as fully as possible their  personal, cognitive, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, moral, cultural and spiritual development, including a loving relationship with God and other people. 

​Roman Catholic schools provide Religious Education for the pupils in accordance with the doctrines, practices and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and promote the formation of the pupils in the Roman Catholic Faith.
