About
All Saints National School, Doohamlet is a co‑educational Catholic primary school serving the local Christian community under the patronage of the Bishop of Clogher. The school’s mission is to provide a high‑quality education in a peaceful, caring environment, fostering strong relationships with the Department of Education, parents, priests and the Board of Management. Teaching is collaborative, with a focus on curiosity‑driven learning across the full range of classes from Junior Infants to 6th Class, and a particular emphasis on science, technology, engineering and maths through the “Curious Minds” initiative and the Step 1–Step 5 STEM showcase. The campus is a modern facility built in 1993 and officially opened in February 1994, with a 2011 extension that added a sports hall, two new classrooms, dedicated learning‑support rooms and new offices. Each classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard, data projector and the school boasts a fully networked computer suite. Additional provisions include a full‑time resource teacher, a learning‑support teacher, weekly GAA football sessions, a breakfast club and an after‑school programme (2 pm‑6 pm). The school is active in the Green Schools programme, holding two Green Flags (2011, 2014) and working towards a third.
