About
Scoil Mhuire Banríon na hÉireann is a national primary school founded in the Salesian tradition, delivering a high‑standard, holistic education for children over an eight‑year programme. The school’s ethos is centred on creating a happy, caring learning environment where pupils’ intellectual, emotional, physical, moral, cultural and spiritual potentials are nurtured. A collaborative partnership between staff, parents and the Board of Management underpins this approach, ensuring that each child’s individual needs are recognised and supported. The school places a strong emphasis on active participation and community involvement. It celebrates a range of thematic weeks—including Mission Week, Seachtain na Gaeilge, Active Week, Science, Engineer’s, Space and Maths weeks—while pursuing recognitions such as the Active Flag, Green Flag and various science awards. Modern facilities support contemporary learning, highlighted by a recent high‑speed broadband upgrade and an after‑school programme provided by Kids Inc, which offers additional care and enrichment for pupils beyond the classroom.
