St Oliver's National School

About

St Oliver’s National School is a co‑educational primary school that operates a vertical model, bringing together children from Junior Infants through to Sixth Class under one roof. Founded in 2010, the school is under the patronage of the Archdiocese of Armagh and is situated on the outskirts of Drogheda, providing a welcoming community setting for families in the area. The school’s curriculum is complemented by a range of supportive programmes, including Reading Recovery for early literacy development, a Junior Infants virtual tour to familiarise new pupils with the learning environment, and a dedicated transition pathway for students moving from Sixth Class to post‑primary education. Additional resources such as a school traffic management plan, uniform guidelines and a parents’ association demonstrate a holistic approach to student welfare, safety and community involvement. St Oliver’s places a strong emphasis on fostering a nurturing ethos rooted in its Catholic patronage, while also encouraging active participation through clubs, sports and extracurricular activities that promote personal growth and social responsibility.
