History of the School

St. Senan’s Primary School which first opened on the 27th of February 1978 replaced the old Mercy Convent School. There were eight teachers and two hundred and ninety six pupils on roll. Presently the school has a staff of forty two teachers, and an enrolment of over five hundred pupils.

A large extension was constructed in 2004/2005, and the 1978 building was totally refurbished. The present staff of St. Senan's Primary School comprises thirty seven teachers, twenty three special needs assistants, caretakers, a secretary and other part time staff.

A new extension to our school was official opened by Mary Hanafin T.D., Minister for Education and Science and blessing by most Rev. Denis Brennan, Bishop of Ferns on Tuesday, 12 September 2006.
