About
Ladyswell National School is a co‑educational primary school situated in Dromheath Gardens, Mulhuddart, Dublin 15, with an enrolment of 483 pupils. Operating under Catholic patronage, the school welcomes children of all faiths and none, promoting an inclusive community ethos. The curriculum follows the national primary framework while placing strong emphasis on the holistic development of pupils through dedicated programmes in music, art, drama and physical education. A broad sports offering—including cycling, GAA, rugby, boxing and dance—supports the school’s vibrant sporting culture. In 2019 the school joined the Hot School Meals Programme, providing pupils with a choice of two daily meals, alongside vegetarian/vegan and culturally appropriate options, thereby supporting wellbeing and academic achievement. A major development occurred in September 2021 when the new school building was officially opened by An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar. The modern facilities comprise a brand‑new library, eight resource rooms, a sensory room, a parents’ room and a fully equipped kitchen used for breakfast, hot lunches and cookery classes for both pupils and parents. Strong links between parents and teachers are actively encouraged to enhance each child’s educational experience.
