The search is on to find 'Ireland's Fittest School'. Working with Fyffes, the aim is to find a school whose focus on fitness will replicate the success of previous ‘Ireland’s Fittest School’ winners – Scoil Na Croise Naofa, Dunfanaghy (2022) and Gilson National School, Oldcastle (2023).

Three of Ireland’s best-known athletes – World Para Rowing champion, Katie O’Brien and Olympians, sprinters Phil Healy and David Gillick are advising teachers and pupils alike that the search is on!

Running until the end of March, the top four schools in Ireland, north and south, will progress to a live ‘grand final’ at which the prize package will include €8,000 worth of sports equipment.

The programme will run until Friday, 29th March. Each week schools will participate in weekly exercises with Fit Squad Ambassadors, David Gillick, Katie O’Brien, and Phil Healy, to earn banana points in the race to be crowned Ireland’s Fittest School.

But here’s the twist, the top four schools on the leaderboard after the 29th of March 2024, will be invited to participate in the first ever LIVE Ireland’s Fittest School finale which will take place in May 2024 with Fyffes Ambassadors. The winners on the day, will receive €5,000 worth of sports equipment for their school with 2nd, 3rd and 4th receiving €1,000.
