Welcome:
St. Michael’s Boys’ National School is a Roman Catholic primary school for boys, operating under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Ardagh & Clonmacnois.
Founded in 1826, the school has a long tradition of serving its community with dedication and faith.
St. Michael’s B.N.S. reflects the character and diversity of the community it serves.
Within this setting, each child’s individual academic, spiritual, and social talents are valued and nurtured. Our goal is for every pupil to leave St. Michael’s B.N.S. equipped with strong skills in reading, writing, and numeracy; a love of learning; a curiosity about the world around them; and most importantly, many happy memories.
The mission of our school is to provide a caring, Christian learning environment that supports every pupil in reaching his full educational potential. This mission guides all our planning and activities. We believe that teachers and parents are partners in
education, and that strong cooperation and open communication between home and school are essential to the children’s success and well-being — the shared goal at the heart of all we do.
