About
Griffith Barracks Multi‑Denominational School (GBMDS) is a state‑funded primary school situated in the historic Old Guardhouse on the South Circular Road, Dublin 8. As an Educate Together‑affiliated school, it delivers a multi‑denominational, child‑centred curriculum that promotes equality, respect for diversity and active learning. The school’s ethos emphasises the development of the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally and physically – within a supportive, inclusive community. The campus combines the character of its historic building with modern facilities, including dedicated spaces for in‑school childcare (Sherpa Kids) and a range of after‑school activities (ASAs) that cater to varied interests. GBMDS provides a structured academic calendar, regular newsletters and a transparent admissions process, ensuring families are well‑informed and engaged throughout the school year. Parents benefit from a strong partnership framework, with a Parents Association, class representatives and clear communication channels. The school is governed by a Board of Management and operates under a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that uphold high standards of safeguarding, equality and educational quality.
