About

St. Joseph’s National School in Rathwire offers a welcoming, inclusive environment where pupils are encouraged to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. While the school embraces children of all faiths, it maintains a Catholic ethos under the patronage of the local bishop, fostering a values‑based education that promotes respect, compassion and community involvement. The curriculum is delivered with a focus on nurturing each child’s full potential, supported by a strong partnership between staff, parents and the wider community as outlined in the school’s mission statement. The school benefits from modern facilities, including high‑speed broadband connectivity provided through the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme, part of the national recovery and resilience plan. This enables the integration of digital resources into everyday learning and supports a range of after‑school activities that enrich the pupil experience. Prospective families can enrol online, explore a virtual tour of the school, and engage with the school’s fundraising initiatives, all of which reflect a vibrant, forward‑looking community.
