About

St. Joseph’s National School, Kilcock is a co‑educational primary school situated in Highfield Park, Kilcock, Co. Kildare. The school provides a nurturing environment that promotes the holistic development of children, encouraging curiosity, confidence and a love of learning. Its curriculum follows the Irish Primary Curriculum, with a strong emphasis on inclusive education and the achievement of every learner, including those at risk of educational disadvantage. Recent investment through the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme and a 2021 grant under the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan has equipped the school with high‑speed broadband and modern ICT resources. These facilities support digital learning initiatives and help bridge the digital divide for pupils who may otherwise lack access to technology. The school’s ethos of “success for all, a happy school, learning and growing together” is reflected in its community‑focused activities, regular newsletters and an active school blog that keep families informed and engaged.
