St John of God National School

Welcome to St John of God National School, situated in the heart of Kilkenny on Upper New Street. Our school prides itself on building a warm and welcoming community, where every child is encouraged to be their best selves, to grow and learn in a supportive and nurturing environment.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, tailored to meet the specific abilities, interests, and needs of each child. Our experienced and highly qualified teachers are dedicated to providing an exceptional standard of education in a creative, engaging, and inclusive atmosphere. We recognise that every child is unique, and we nurture their individual talents and strengths. Our school is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including modern classrooms, a well-stocked library, and a computer room.

Our ethos is grounded in the principles of respect, kindness, compassion, and empathy. We are committed to fostering a sense of community in our school, where children, staff, parents, and guardians work in partnership to promote the wellbeing and success of every child. We understand that a positive attitude towards learning can lead to greater achievement, and we encourage our students to be inquisitive, persistent, and resilient in their pursuit of knowledge.

At St John of God National School, we value the contribution of every member of our community. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is fundamental to the success of our students, and we actively encourage the involvement of parents and guardians in all aspects of school life. We offer a range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, drama, and art to enrich the learning experience of our students outside of the classroom.

We are proud of our school, and we look forward to welcoming you and your child to our community at St John of God National School.
