About

St Oliver Post Primary School is a state‑funded, co‑educational secondary school operating under the patronage of the Louth Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB). The school delivers a broad curriculum that balances academic rigour with a wide range of extra‑curricular activities, enabling pupils to explore subjects from the sciences and humanities to the arts and technology. Its commitment to academic excellence is reflected in the success of former pupils who have progressed into professional fields such as medicine, law, physiotherapy, psychology and actuarial science. The school’s ethos is rooted in the ETB core values of Excellence in Education, Care, Equality, Community and Respect. A caring, well‑ordered environment promotes justice, mutual respect, equality and tolerance, fostering a positive self‑image and confidence in learners. Modern learning spaces, including digital platforms such as a student portal, typing club, and a digital learning plan, support contemporary teaching methods and encourage student voice and wellbeing. Strong partnerships with parents and the wider community further enhance the supportive atmosphere that prepares students for the challenges of adult life.
