Ardpatrick National School

About

Ardpatrick National School (Ardpatrick NS) is a primary school in Ireland that embraces the motto “Foghlaim agus Spraoi” – learning and fun. The school’s ethos centres on providing a balanced education where academic instruction is combined with enjoyable, play‑based activities, fostering a love of learning from an early age. The school maintains strong ties with the local community, most visibly through its weekly “Divide The Dough” fundraiser. Envelopes costing €2 are available at Ardpatrick NS and at nearby businesses such as Spruce & Willow Ardpatrick, Murphy’s Service Station Kilfinane and McGraths Bar Kilfinane. Each week participants have a chance to win half of the money raised, with proceeds supporting school programmes and resources.
