About
St Brendan’s Boys National School is a vibrant primary‑level institution situated on McAuley Road in Artane, Dublin 5. The school’s ethos centres on the three pillars “Enrich – Enjoy – Excel”, promoting a learning environment where children are encouraged to develop academically, socially and personally. Teaching and learning are delivered through a balanced programme that combines a strong core curriculum with a wide range of extracurricular clubs, including arts and crafts, athletics, basketball, chess and Gaelic football. These activities are designed to foster confidence, teamwork and a love of lifelong learning while ensuring that every pupil feels valued, safe and respected. The daily routine supports both academic progress and wellbeing: a breakfast club welcomes children from 8.15 am, followed by structured classroom time, regular breaks and a dedicated art club during lunch. After the formal school day ends at 2.20 pm, a homework club provides supervised study time until 3.50 pm. The school places a high priority on safeguarding, implementing proactive measures to protect children and promote their health and development. Recognition of achievement is highlighted through a collection of school awards, reflecting the community’s commitment to excellence across all areas of school life.
