St Bernadettes Senior National School

About

St Bernadette’s Senior National School is a primary school that provides education for children from junior infants to fifth class. The school operates under a child‑centred ethos, with the Board of Management setting policies that prioritise the needs of pupils and the efficient use of resources. The educational philosophy, as outlined by the Board, focuses on high‑quality teaching and learning, with a school plan that defines the aims and strategies for achieving them. The school is governed by a Board of Management appointed for a four‑year term, which is responsible for school planning, self‑evaluation and the overall direction of school policies. The principal oversees day‑to‑day management, guiding teachers and staff to deliver a supportive learning environment. Recent updates indicate the school will reopen on Monday 5 January 2026 after a temporary closure, and it continues to engage the community through events such as choir performances and science fairs.
