ABOUT ST. PATRICK'S PRIMARY SCHOOL

​

OUR VISION​

Our vision is that of a caring, loving school where all children, whatever their ability, race or creed are cherished for their uniqueness. Our School seeks to give equal opportunity to all pupils to reach their full potential – academically, spiritually, physically, socially and emotionally. 

We endeavour to achieve this goal in a climate of positive co-operation, supported by the entire school community of pupils, teachers, support staff, parents/guardians, Board of Management and Parish. In this way, teaching and learning can take place within the context of mutual, valuing and respecting relationships.

​

OUR AIMS

In St. Patrick’s School, we want to provide a safe and reassuring atmosphere for our pupils, where each child experiences and actively participates in a relevant, enjoyable curriculum that evolves to meet the needs of all. Our aim is to develop their emotional, physical and spiritual capacities and to foster a love of learning in a community that celebrates success and where each member is valued. We want our children to develop a sense of self-esteem and to be well balanced, healthy individuals—confident to take risks in learning. We want our pupils to be HAPPY—to enjoy school and to enjoy learning.

We see education not just as providing students with knowledge and skills but also as providing for the all round development of the individual. We are committed to promoting these aims by giving compassionate and diligent guidance to our pupils. We believe each child has a unique and special contribution to make.

We believe every child matters.

​

OUR ETHOS

St. Patrick’s is a Catholic school under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin. Pupils are prepared for the reception of the sacraments of Penance, Eucharist and Confirmation in accordance with arrangements in the Diocese.

We seek to promote an ethos which is:

welcoming, tolerant, open, listening, safe, caring, inclusive, aesthetically pleasing and fun.

We are proactive in our efforts to achieve this environment through our language and our actions.
