About
St Michael’s Junior Boys School is a Catholic primary school in Tipperary Town that provides a nurturing, co‑operative and respectful environment for boys aged four to seven. The school’s ethos places the child at the centre of learning, promoting a happy, safe and inclusive atmosphere where self‑esteem and positive attitudes to learning are actively developed. Over the three years of Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class, pupils experience a broad curriculum that includes sport, music, drama and art, alongside a strong focus on personal wellbeing, healthy eating and anti‑bullying education through the S.P.H.E programme. The school benefits from DEIS Urban Band 1 status, granting additional resources such as the School Completion Programme, School Meals Scheme and extra staffing to support pupils with additional needs. A dedicated Special Needs Assistant team and an EAL (English as an Additional Language) provision ensure that all children receive tailored support. Uniform guidelines, clear daily timetables and a structured admission/dismissal routine contribute to a well‑ordered learning environment, while strong partnerships with parents, the wider community and other schools reinforce the school’s commitment to holistic development.
