St. Mary’s NS

Principal's Welcome

Welcome to the website of St. Mary's National School, Barndarrig. It is designed to give you an insight into the wonderful world that has been created in our school.

It is hard to put into words what our school offers our pupils. There is a sense of magic within the walls, where anything can happen. We have a learning environment to be proud of, where pupil voice is to the forefront and the uniqueness of our pupils is valued and celebrated. Our dedicated staff lead by example with enthusiasm, kindness and the utmost respect for all in our school environment. We are ably supported by a wonderful body of parents and a highly skilled and hard working Board of Management.

I hope you enjoy the view through this window, into our world.

Eimear O’Dwyer - Principal.
