Scoil an Chroí Ró- Naofa, The Swan opened on 7th May 1956 with 27 boys and 16 girls registered in the school. Children from The Swan previously attended Wolfhill N.S.
It is a two-teacher school, under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin..
The school was extended in 2006 and now has 4 classrooms, L.S. Room, lunch area and staffroom.
The school became known as 'The Swan N.S.' but has recently begun using the original name, 'Scoil an Chroí- Ró Naofa'.

Our School Crest

Our school crest was created by Bruce Wilkie ( 6th Class, 2008). He used the image of the Sacred Heart and an image of a swan to incorporate both the original and local names of the school
