About

Kilkenny School Project is a co‑educational primary school that has been learning together since 1987. The school is founded on an equality‑based, democratically run and child‑centred ethos, welcoming children of all faiths and non‑religious backgrounds. A strong emphasis is placed on equality, respect and inclusive practice, ensuring that every pupil feels valued and able to participate fully in their education. The school operates a vibrant community framework that includes an Executive Committee, Board of Management, PTA, Student Council and Environmental Committee, all of which contribute to a supportive and participatory learning environment. A rich calendar of events – ranging from maths week and cultural performances to seasonal fairs and environmental projects – reflects a broad extracurricular programme. Resources such as detailed school policies, timetables, booklists and regular bulletins are readily available to families, underpinning transparent communication and organised school life.

History

Kilkenny School Project was established in 1987 as a democratic, equality‑focused primary school. From its inception the school has maintained a child‑centred approach, fostering an inclusive community where children of diverse backgrounds learn together. Over the decades it has developed a range of committees and programmes that support its founding principles of respect, equality and shared decision‑making.
