Hewetson National School is a co-educational school under Church of Ireland management standing on a three acre site about 1 kilometre outside Clane on the Millicent Road.
It was built on this site in 1805 after the closure of Betaghstown School when it amalgamated with the Church of Ireland School in Clane.
Our school has been remodelled to accommodate our pupils' modern educational needs. Classes go from Junior Infants to Sixth Class and pupils range in age from four to thirteen years. We have four Classroom Teachers and one Special Education Teacher.
