A Warm Welcome

Céad Míle Fáilte

It is my pleasure, as principal of St Mary’s Primary School, Derrymore, to welcome you to our school website.

As you browse through the various sections of the website, you will get an insight into the daily life of our school as we share some of the wonderful things that go here.

As a Catholic school, St Mary’s is committed to providing experiences which will develop Christian values in all our pupils. It is our aim to ensure that all children are provided with the values, skills, knowledge and abilities that they will need to deal with the challenges and experiences they will meet in the years ahead. We as a staff are dedicated to providing the best education for the children throughout their time with us.

In our school we all matter.

In our school we all belong.

In our school we all try to be the best we can be.

Principal
