About Us

Vision

Our school vision ‘Fás le léann - Grow in Learning’ is our hope for all our children – that they grow in all aspects of their life to be responsible and caring, always striving to be the best that they can be.

Mission Statement

We believe in the dignity and worth of each individual and the holistic development of our children in an environment which is caring and nurturing and fosters good relationships. Through the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum, underpinned by our Catholic ethos we strive to promote in all our pupils the necessary skills, knowledge and values which will equip them for future learning and living and enable them to make meaningful contributions to family, parish and community life.
