Ethos Statement
Cobh Mixed National School under the patronage of the Bishop of Cork, Cloyne & Ross serves the following parish Cobh and Glanmire Union of Parishes.
Cobh Mixed National School is co-educational and was founded in 1860.
Cobh Mixed National School in accordance with the Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018 is a school that meets the needs and reflects the ethos of the Church of Ireland and related Protestant communities within Cobh and Glanmire Union of Parishes. The school includes pupils from many religious persuasions.
Cobh Mixed National School has an inclusive policy with regard to children with special needs and they are welcome at Cobh Mixed National School. However, appropriate resources need to be in place to cater for their special requirements. Through exploration of other world religions and beliefs in the Senior Religious Education Curriculum the children are encouraged to recognise, respect and celebrate cultural diversity. The work of the school is conducted in an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for religious, social, physical and cultural differences. In regards to ecumenical matters; The rector leads assembly most Friday mornings. Where possible members of the community from other religious groups are asked to share their beliefs with the children, this comes under the education of the children on other religions. While the school is under the Church of Ireland Management we welcome the enrolment of children from different religious backgrounds while also maintaining the Church of Ireland Ethos within the school.
