Welcome to Scoil Ghrainne Community National School!

Welcome to Scoil Ghráinne Community National School – we’re delighted you’re here!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website. At Scoil Ghráinne CNS, we are proud to be a state, co-educational, multi-denominational school under the patronage of the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board.

Our school first opened its doors in September 2008 with 66 enthusiastic Junior Infant pupils. For our first two years, we operated from prefabricated buildings on the same grounds we occupy today. In 2010, we happily moved into our modern, purpose-built school—a bright and spacious 24-classroom facility complete with a large PE hall, a welcoming library, and our dedicated ASD classes, Croí, which support 12 children with autism.

Today, Scoil Ghráinne is home to 594 pupils, from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. We share our vibrant campus with Phibblestown Community Centre and our neighbouring post-primary school, Coláiste Pobail Setanta, creating a strong and connected educational community.

Our school ethos centres on delivering the highest quality education for every child. We strive to support each pupil’s full potential—physically, spiritually, emotionally, and academically. At Scoil Ghráinne, we place great value on partnership and encourage meaningful parental involvement in every child’s learning journey.

Respect, inclusion, and equality shape everything we do. These values shine through in our daily interactions, our school culture, and all of our policies and practices. Located in a wonderfully diverse and rapidly growing area, our school community welcomes families from many different backgrounds and cultures. We celebrate both our shared experiences and the unique differences that make our community so special. By embracing this diversity, we aim to prepare all of our children to learn, grow, and work together in harmony.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and getting to know our thriving school community.
