Scoil na Seolta

Integrated Irish-medium primary school and nursery in east Belfast.

As Scoil na Seolta grows, we need more staff & resources. We need books for our first Rang a haon class! Equipment to start breakfast club & school meals and another classroom assistant for a big naíscoil year. As an independent school we're grateful for any donation big or small 🙏
