About

St Gabriel’s School, situated in Dooradoyle, Limerick, is a specialist primary and post‑primary institution dedicated to learners aged 4‑18 who have complex physical disabilities and, where required, associated medical needs. The school operates on a multi‑denominational basis and embraces a child‑centred ethos that prioritises each pupil’s abilities, potential and individual circumstances. By adapting the Department of Education’s NCCA curriculum, St Gabriel’s provides a challenging yet appropriate learning programme that supports academic, social and life‑skills development within a safe, caring environment. The school’s inclusive philosophy is underpinned by principles of equality of access, parental choice and respect for the diverse values, beliefs and traditions of its community. Facilities are tailored to meet complex mobility and health requirements, enabling personalised support and therapeutic interventions. While maintaining strong links with families, the school also offers optional faith formation, including preparation for the sacraments for those who wish to participate, reflecting its commitment to holistic development without imposing religious obligations.
