A Little About Us
Located in Moyvane, Co. Kerry, is a co-educational, Catholic primary school which strives to provide a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere where the spiritual, intellectual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupils are fostered.
While Murhur N. S. is a school with a Catholic ethos, pupils are drawn by example and teaching to appreciate and respect people of different religious affiliations, cultures and nationalities. We cater for pupils of different educational needs, each child is supported at their own journey of learning. All of our pupils are celebrated during our Diversity Week each year.
Our school has 4 classrooms where we teach Junior and Senior Infants, First and Second Class, Third & Fourth Class, Fifth and Sixth Class. We have 4 classroom teachers and 1 SET. From September we will have our Autism Class also.

All The Latest
The excitement was up to the sky and back today for our annual Patrick Curtin Tournament 🏆 Last week we had the group stages and unfortunately the orange and jersey teams were knocked out. Today was a fine display of football, with two semi final games firstly, the red team versus the yellow team and then the blue team versus non-bibs team.
All teams fought hard but it was meant to be for the yellow 🟡 and blue 🔵 team to meet in the final. It was a super entertaining final with lots of goals. In the finish the blue team pulled away and took the win. Their captain Mark was proud to lift the trophy. Thank you so much to the club for the field, Eileen, Evelyn and family for coming and making the presentation, to Conor for reffing and to the parents for supporting us on the day. The players were outstanding, very disciplined, encouraging and conscious of younger players. Cadán took the "Sportsmanship Award" for his brilliant attitude. He quietly went about his business, encouraging his team and played brilliant football also.
Ah thank you so much to Lee Strand and to all our great community for dropping in milk tokens for this competition 👏🏼 This money will be put to great use!
Congratulations to our Senior Room Pupils!
We are delighted for our 5th and 6th Class pupils who have received a top prize in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme 2026.
Their innovative business, Murhur Mysteries Fidget Box, was selected as the winner of The Digital Maestros Award. The award recognises classes that excel in the use of technology and digital media across areas such as product development, sales and marketing, communications and production.
Our pupils demonstrated outstanding creativity, teamwork and digital skills throughout their entrepreneurial journey. They made excellent use of technology utilising designing software and 3D printing to bring their business idea to life.
We are incredibly proud of their achievement and congratulate all of the pupils on their hard work, dedication and success. Well done to everyone involved! 🎉👏🏆
