KILBRIDE NATIONAL SCHOOL

About

Scoil Bhríde is a vertical, co‑educational Catholic national school located in the picturesque village of Kilbride, Co. Meath, close to the Dublin border. Operating under the patronage of the Bishop of Meath, the school welcomes pupils from Junior Infants through Sixth Class, offering both mainstream (including some multi‑grade) and dedicated autism classrooms. The ethos is firmly rooted in inclusivity and kindness – the school’s motto “Bí Cineálta, Be Kind” underpins a learning environment where every child is valued, respected and encouraged to reach their full potential. The school’s educational approach balances academic rigour with holistic development. A strong emphasis is placed on personal growth, confidence and self‑esteem, supported by a safe and caring atmosphere. Extra‑curricular activities, community partnerships and pastoral care are integral, fostering spiritual, social and physical development. Facilities support a nut‑free policy, a uniform dress code, and plans for hot lunches, while regular fund‑raising events and active engagement on social media reflect a vibrant school community that works closely with parents and local organisations.
