About

Rush National School is a co‑educational, denominational primary school that operates under the Roman Catholic ethos and the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin. The school’s mission is to celebrate each child’s individuality, fostering intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural development within a well‑ordered, caring and secure atmosphere. It embraces inclusiveness and equality of access, respecting the diversity of traditions, values and beliefs while adhering to the Department of Education and Science regulations. Recent investment through the Dublin Airport Authority’s Elevate 25 programme has enhanced the school’s outdoor facilities, adding two running lanes and a covered grass area that flank the play yard, providing safe, modern spaces for physical activity and recreation. Inside, the school offers a vibrant music programme, with ukulele lessons for senior classes and classroom‑based music workshops for younger pupils, supported by Fingal County Council funding. A strong community spirit is evident through regular fundraising events, partnerships with local organisations such as Tesco, and a focus on teamwork and well‑being, all of which contribute to a supportive learning environment.
