About

St. Oliver Plunkett B.N.S. is a Catholic primary school situated in Moate Parish, County Westmeath. The school’s ethos is rooted in a Christian environment that seeks the full and harmonious development of each pupil – intellectually, spiritually, physically, morally and culturally. A well‑ordered, caring and secure atmosphere is provided, where self‑esteem, confidence and respect for the dignity of every member of the community are actively nurtured. The school’s mission emphasises a partnership between the Board of Management, staff and parents, aiming to foster responsibility, pride and achievement in both academic and moral realms. It promotes a global awareness and environmental responsibility, encourages the use of the Irish language (“Deanfaimid iarracht Gaeilge a labhairt”), and strives for quality and excellence across all aspects of school life. These principles guide the everyday experience of pupils, ensuring they leave with happy memories of their primary education.
