About
Marymount National School is a co‑educational, Catholic primary school situated in the heart of Drogheda, County Louth. The school welcomes both boys and girls and provides mainstream classes alongside specialised autism provision, reflecting a commitment to inclusive education. Pupils from a wide range of cultural backgrounds attend the school – currently representing almost thirty different nationalities – and families of all faiths and none are embraced within the community. The school places a strong emphasis on holistic development, offering a varied programme of extracurricular activities that includes sport, chess, art exhibitions, crochet clubs and community‑led initiatives such as the Batteries for Barretstown recycling project. A dedicated Parents’ Association works closely with staff and the Board of Management to support a positive learning environment, while regular communication through newsletters and social media keeps families informed of events, holidays and school news. Marymount’s ethos centres on helping each child reach their full potential in a supportive, nurturing setting. The school’s modern facilities accommodate both academic and creative pursuits, and a collaborative team of staff members is focused on delivering a high‑quality, child‑centred education.
