About

Our Lady’s Boys’ National School is an all‑boys Catholic primary school situated in Ballinteer, at the foot of the Dublin Mountains and within walking distance of Marlay Park and St Enda’s Park. The school serves a vibrant community of approximately 250 pupils and is staffed by a dedicated team of teachers, special‑needs assistants and support personnel. Its ethos is founded on the three Rs – being ready to learn, respectful to all members of the school community and making responsible choices – and it promotes a caring, inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to reach his full potential across academic, social, spiritual, sporting and aesthetic domains. The school places a strong emphasis on inclusive education, operating two specialist ASD classes – one of Dublin’s longest‑established – and providing an occupational therapy room, sensory garden and outdoor classroom. Modern learning spaces are equipped with interactive whiteboards, laptops and a fleet of 70 tablets that support research and project‑based learning. Outdoor facilities include a junior playground with soft‑surface equipment, a senior yard with a basketball court, and ample parking. The school hall is available for community hire, reinforcing the school’s role as a local hub. A Catholic ethos under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin informs the curriculum, with the ‘Grow in Love’ programme guiding religious education and the celebration of liturgy, prayer and sacraments. Partnerships with parents, the Board of Management and the wider parish community are central to the school’s collaborative approach, ensuring a supportive network for pupils and families alike.
