- Our primary school has been here on Lower Baggot Street for nearly 200 years and we teach boys and girls from Junior Infants to the 6th class. Founded in 1827 by the Blessed Catherine McCauley, we are the parish school of St. Andrew's, Westland Row. We continue our proud history of education by working with children and families from the local area, other parts of Dublin city, and all over the world. Our school crest represents that all of our children grow and work together. 'Respect' is a keyword in our school and this is reflected in how all members of our school community treat each other. Our core goal of developing independence in all children plays a central role in our teaching and learning as we deliver the primary school curriculum every day. Our school motto, 'Le Chéile', shows the high value we place on a meaningful home-school relationship as we help each child reach his or her potential. Scoil Chaitríona Baggot Street is a Catholic school and by our ethos, we work together to create a nurturing and Christian school community. Our school also welcomes and embraces children of all faiths and none. We operate under the Patronage of the Archdiocese of Dublin and we are the mainstream school of the historic parish of St. Andrew’s in Westland Row. We promote our ethos by encouraging respect for ourselves and others. All members of our school community – children, families, staff, and visitors alike – are encouraged to display tolerance, inclusiveness, and care towards one and other at all times. We want every one of our children to reach his or her full potential and we hope to instill a love of life-long learning in every child we are privileged to teach. We are also highly respectful of the role of every parent as the primary educator of the child. Meas orainn Fein and grá don in. We work with each child to make sure that he or she is supported where necessary and to extend and challenged as well. With this differentiation, we aim to keep raising and maintaining standards in the three core subjects of Numeracy, Literacy, and Irish while at the same time keeping all the other subjects of our curriculum alive and enjoyable. For us, primary school is not purely about getting our children ready for secondary school. As well as learning the academic side of the curriculum and achieving results, we also want our children to develop all parts of themselves - socially, emotionally, physically, imaginatively, spiritually, and morally. It’s also hugely important to us that every child is given the chance to develop strong thinking skills and the ability to understand the world around them. Each child is different. They all have their strengths, abilities, interests, and personalities. In our school, we recognize, support, and celebrate these differences and we work with each child with this in mind.

- Scoil Eoin is a Catholic school where all children are welcome. We aim to provide the best possible education for each pupil so that their talents may be developed and their needs best met. The well-being of our children is of the highest importance as we know that children who are happy and secure in their learning environment are children who are more likely to achieve their potential. Scoil Eoin is proud to call itself a green school. We have been awarded three green school flags to date for waste, energy, and water conservation. As well as maintaining our current flags, this year we are working towards achieving the travel flag. There are seven steps we must complete to earn the flag. We will collect data about how children travel to school eg. By car, bus, train. We will conduct a walkability and cyclability audit to determine the safest and best routes to school. GAA has a long and proud history of involvement with Cumann na mBunscoil and the Fingal Leagues. Currently, three teams are representing the school, senior and junior boys and a senior girls team. All children are welcome to play and we look forward to the upcoming season which begins after Christmas. We have been very lucky in recent years that the school has been very successful in the final leagues. Over the last three years, pupils from various classes in Scoil Eoin have participated in Tennis4Kids. Tennis4Kids is a mini tennis program that gives children the opportunity to learn and play tennis in a fun and easy way. It promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, builds confidence and team building as well as developing a love of the sport. Students have been working hard each week getting their homework done. They have been very focused on working on their writing, maths, and reading to name a few. They get help from the teacher when they need it and also work together to help one another out. There is always a lovely, calm atmosphere in the club and they get to go home with their homework already complete! View full school
- Scoil Assaim is an Active School! We were recently awarded the Active Flag and it is flying proudly outside our school! The Active School Flag initiative is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland aiming to encourage schools to be more active, more often. Our Mission is to educate each child within our care to the best of that child's ability and to lead our pupils too early adolescence in the happy development of all their gifts and talents. As part of the Active School Flag process, the staff at Scoil Assaim reviewed the current status of Physical Education across the school. We ensured that all pupils are provided with a minimum of 60 minutes of timetabled PE per week and that all classes are taught at least 5 different PE strands each year, using the PSSI and PDST lesson plans and resources. PE has always been considered a vital element of the curriculum taught at Scoil Assaim, and is reflected as such as PE feedback is discussed in PT meetings, and included in all annual school reports alongside other taught subjects. The staff has undertaken CPD in PE within the past 12 months, and all new ideas, knowledge, and strategies have been shared among all staff. We have also chosen to prioritize one particular strand each year to be further developed. This year we are focusing on the Outdoor and Adventure strand. Teachers have also committed to set active homework at all class levels. "All primary schools are managed by a group of four or eight people who have a particular interest in the provision of primary schooling in their local area. This team is made up of parents' representatives, teachers, representatives of the patron and community representatives who have a particular interest or expertise." As we have chosen Outdoor and Adventure as our focus PE strand for this year, classes across the school have embarked on a range of interesting activities to develop this strand further, and the students have enjoyed putting their exploratory skills to the test through orienteering, trail activities, and treasure hunts! Take a look at some of the snaps below to get a taste of the adventure! The boys in each class mixed their orienteering and Gaeilge skills to complete ‘Tóraíocht Taisce’ following maps of the school grounds to hunt for words to complete sentences as Gaeilge! They also participated in ‘cluichí clós’ where they had to match up hidden pictures and words - no cone was left unturned! View full school
- Although Scoil Treasa Naofa itself was not opened until 1930 the involvement of the Christian Brothers in the area began as far back as 1818. In that year the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, Archbishop of Dublin, requested Edmund Rice to open the second school in Dublin. Br Rice sent two Brothers, Joseph Keane and Baptist Green to open a school in Mill St. just off the Coombe, a short distance from the present Scoil Treasa Naofa. Between the two Brothers, they taught 250 boys aged between seven and seventeen. The school expanded rapidly until five brothers were teaching 600 pupils. The year 1839 was disastrous for Mill St. school. On the 6th of January 1839, a huge storm swept across the country. On that night Mill St. School lost its roof, a blow from which it never recovered. The Brothers could not afford to carry out the necessary repairs but they kept the school open for five more years. The lease was up in 1846 and the landlord demanded a 100% increase. The Brothers could not pay and they were evicted. Around that time the population of Donore Avenue parish was beginning to grow. This area was known as Fairbrothers Fields and was a farming area with market-gardening and dairying being its main industries. It remained open until the nineteen-twenties when the Corporation acquired it for housing. With the building of a Church and the growth in population in the Donore Avenue part of the Meath St. parish, a school was needed. The Archbishop, Most Rev. Dr. Edward Byrne, wrote to the Superior General of the Christian Brothers requesting him to open a school in Donore Avenue. The Superior General readily agreed. The task of acquiring a site for the proposed school and supervising the building began. A triangular plot of land was acquired in Fairbrothers Fields. A lease for 150 years was signed in 1928 for a plot measuring 3 roods and 21 perches. The building commenced on 15th August 1929. The school was completed by the following year for £12,500. The Board of Management has legal responsibility for the overall running of the school. The Board works in co-operation with the Department of Education and Science, the Principal and staff, parents, and the wider community to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the school.
