About

St Patrick’s Girls’ National School is a vibrant primary school situated on Cambridge Road in Ringsend, Dublin 4. Set in a modern, shared campus with St Patrick’s Boys’ National School, the school benefits from a safe, spacious environment that serves the children of St Patrick’s Parish and the surrounding community. Its central location provides excellent transport links – a short walk to the Luas terminus, Grand Canal Dock DART station, the 3Arena, the Aviva Stadium and the East Link Toll Bridge – making the school easily accessible for families across the city. The school caters for approximately 145 pupils across eight single‑stream classes from Junior Infants to 6th Class. A dedicated team of mainstream and support teachers, together with a home‑school community liaison, delivers a balanced curriculum that includes the arts, Gaeilge (Irish), geography, history and a strong emphasis on personal development and wellbeing. The school day runs from 8:50 am to 2:30 pm, providing a structured yet nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, confidence and a love of learning. As a patronised institution of the Archbishop of Dublin, the school upholds the values of the Catholic tradition while fostering an inclusive community spirit. Facilities are shared with the neighbouring boys’ school, offering ample space for classroom learning, creative activities and outdoor play, and the school actively promotes parental involvement and community partnership through a range of events and programmes.
