There were nerves and excitement as RTÉ's Nationwide visited a Laois school.

Scoil Mhuire Abbeyleix got a special visit as they are set to feature on the show very soon.

Sharing a post to Facebook, a spokesperson for the school said: "There was great excitement and some nerves (from the staff rather than the pupils!) when the Nationwide TV crew arrived on Wednesday.

"They were so impressed with our school. They visited the school garden and our wonderful sustainability project; the sale of preloved Halloween costumes.

"The show will air at the end of October."
