I am so sorry to read this today. Another rural school forced to close, along with Doochary school which also closed this year.
I have loved my visits to both Edininfagh and Doochary over the past years.
Wonderful staff and kids . I wish all the best to the Principals of both schools Oliver and Hilary and their amazing staff.
Another piece of rural Donegal has sadly closed...

Did you know that we have 5 classes for 3 and 4 years olds.
One of the questions we’re asked most often is whether 3-5 yr olds are “too young” for structured movement.
At RINKA, the answer is a clear no.
This is one of our favourite age groups to teach. Children at this stage are bursting with imagination, full of natural energy, and open to learning in a way that becomes harder as they get older. They don’t overthink movement. They explore it.
At ages 3–5, we’re not chasing performance. We’re building foundations.
Confidence in their bodies.
A positive relationship with movement.
Listening skills, turn-taking, balance, strength, and belief in themselves.
When we get this stage right, everything else becomes easier later on.
That’s why our youngest RINKA kids are never an afterthought.
They’re a priority 💚
Our junior classes are in the following areas ⬇️⬇️
**Children must be fully toilet trained and happy to stay without a parent or guardian.
