About

St Brendan’s National School, Fenit is a vibrant primary school set in the scenic coastal village of Fenit, County Kerry. The school prides itself on a caring, inclusive environment where each pupil is known personally and encouraged to develop their unique gifts. Its educational philosophy centres on kindness, creativity and connection, aiming to foster intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth while promoting respect, curiosity and confidence. Learning is supported by modern technology, including interactive whiteboards and iPads, and a curriculum that values both academic achievement and holistic development. The campus benefits from extensive outdoor facilities that enhance experiential learning. Recent extensions have added a brand‑new astro‑turf pitch for all‑weather sport, alongside spacious play areas, a greenhouse, a school garden and easy access to the nearby beach. Courts and pitches provide ample space for physical activity, while the natural setting is regularly used to teach sustainability and a love of the outdoors. Strong partnerships with parents, the Board of Management and the wider community underpin the school’s commitment to nurturing well‑adjusted, lifelong learners.
