About
St Joseph’s Mercy Primary School is a mixed, Catholic primary school situated in the heart of Navan, County Meath. Operating under the patronage of the Bishop of Meath and the trusteeship of the Mercy Sisters (Northern Province), the school embraces a faith‑based ethos that underpins its curriculum and community life. With a current enrolment of 464 pupils, the school offers a nurturing environment that balances academic rigour with spiritual and personal development, encouraging children to grow in confidence, compassion and a love of learning. The school benefits from a central location close to the Solstice Arts Centre, Navan Library and St Mary’s Church, and can be accessed via Leighsbrook or the pedestrian‑only Brews Hill route. Its timetable runs from 9:15 am to 3:00 pm, with a mid‑morning break and a half‑hour lunch period. Recent initiatives such as the Teacher Artist Partnership Programme (TAP+) and a focus on nature‑based learning illustrate the school’s commitment to creative, experiential education that extends beyond the classroom.
