A Message from the Principal!
We are delighted to welcome you to the website of Naíscoil Íde, Raheny, a Catholic co-ed, infant school under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin. We cater for children from Junior Infants to First class and have a current enrolment of 305 pupils.
As principal, I am privileged to lead a team of very kind, hard-working, dedicated and talented teachers, SNAs and ancillary staff who are committed to providing high quality early education to the children of Raheny.
In Naíscoil Íde we are all very proud of our pupils and are constantly amazed by their abilities and talents. We strive to provide our pupils with a happy, caring, safe and inclusive environment where each child feels valued and is encouraged to reach their full potential. We endeavour to nurture and develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of the world around them through playful learning experiences.
We appreciate the important role the parents, Board of Management, Parents' Association and the community play in the success of the school. We also remember and acknowledge all those who have worked in Naíscoil Íde in the past - principals Mrs. Cahill, Mrs. Dougan, Mrs. McIlvenna and Mrs. Ring, former teachers, SNA’s, members of Boards of Management and members of the Parents’ Associations. We thank these people most sincerely for their input in the school as they have made a valuable contribution to the wonderful school we have today.
We hope this website gives you a flavour of our busy school. Through this site you can access information, view samples of the children’s work and keep up to date with all that is going on in the school.
Le gach dea ghuí
Nora Mescal
Principal
