About

St Philips Senior National School, situated on Mountview Road in Clonsilla, Dublin 15, provides primary education for children from junior infants to sixth class. The school’s ethos centres on three pillars – a feeling of safety, a sense of belonging and the joy of learning – and it seeks to nurture each pupil’s talents across the arts, sport and the classroom. A broad, balanced curriculum encourages creativity, critical thinking and physical wellbeing, with programmes such as Marathon Kids, fitness weeks and regular cultural outings that link classroom learning to the wider community. The school environment is designed to support holistic development. Purpose‑built classrooms are complemented by dedicated spaces for art, music and physical activity, and the school maintains a strong focus on safeguarding through comprehensive child‑protection, anti‑bullying and code of behaviour policies.
