Welcome

Welcome to the bright, new, updated website of St. Francis’ Primary School, Bunscoil Naomh Proinsias & St. Francis’ Nursery Unit.

We are delighted to virtually open up our school to children, parents, governors, visitors, local community and the world beyond. You will gain an insight into life at our school and unique experience we bring with Nursery, Bunscoil and mainstream primary education on the one site.
If you have any questions or would like to know more, please contact the school office or contact our Principal, Miss O’Dowd.

In this era of Covid I ask that all visitors adhere to the following procedures
