St Philip The Apostle Junior National School

About

St Philip the Apostle Junior National School offers a nurturing and vibrant setting for boys and girls from Junior Infants through 2nd Class. The school’s ethos centres on three core principles – safety, belonging and joy – and aims to inspire pupils to discover their talents across the arts, sport and academic pursuits. A dedicated team of staff work to create an inclusive atmosphere where each child feels supported and empowered to reach their full potential, while strong parental involvement is welcomed as an integral part of the school community. Located on Mountview Road in Coolmine, just minutes from the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, the school benefits from easy access and a spacious site that reflects its historic roots as a former stud‑farm, symbolised in the school crest. Uniform is worn three days a week, complemented by a tracksuit on the remaining days, and the uniform colours (grey, blue, red and navy) reinforce a sense of identity. The crest also incorporates symbols of the patron saint, sport and the torch of enlightenment, underscoring the school’s commitment to holistic education, spiritual values and physical wellbeing.
