About
St Finbarr’s Boys National School is a vibrant primary school situated in the heart of the community, now welcoming both boys and girls following its recent transition to a co‑educational model. The school offers mainstream classes alongside a dedicated Preschool Autism Class, reflecting a strong commitment to inclusive education and equality of access for all children regardless of background, ability or circumstance. A Catholic ethos underpins the school’s values, fostering a caring and respectful environment where spiritual development is encouraged alongside academic achievement. The school provides a rich programme of extracurricular activities and support services. Regular events such as the Breakfast Club, arts and crafts workshops, sports days, green‑flag initiatives and parent‑focused sessions demonstrate a holistic approach to learning. Facilities include well‑equipped classrooms, play areas and specialised spaces for the autism class, while a range of policies – covering child protection, healthy eating and behaviour – ensure a safe and nurturing setting for pupils to thrive.
