Gaelscoil Phádraig is a mixed, catholic ethos, primary school under the patronage of An Foras Pátrúnachta. Irish is the spoken language in the school between staff and pupils and all subjects are taught through Irish in an interactive, encouraging environment.

We encourage our pupils to be able to think independently, create collaboratively and to engage fully with the curriculum while fostering in them a love of the Irish language and culture. We focus both on the academic and creative aspects of the curriculum and place an emphasis on dancing, music and GAA. We also teach the children to be mindful of and caring towards each other and our environment. Some of the initiatives currently offered in our school are:

Irish Dancing
Gaelic Football
Tin Whistle
Hurling/Camogie
Athletics
Student Council
Green Schools Committee
Music Generation

The atmosphere we create in Gaelscoil Phádraig is very much one of ‘family’ and ‘community’. The staff and Board of Management do their utmost to ensure every child’s individual needs are met. Our open door policy ensures a high importance is placed on parental and guardian involvement within our school.
Everybody has a role to play in ensuring the success of our school and the happiness of our students
