Now Enrolling for 2025/2026

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

A very warm welcome to you and your child from all of us at Scoil Mhuire Fatima — North Monastery Primary School. It was a huge privilege to join this special community as Principal on 1 October 2025, and I am genuinely excited to meet you and your family over the coming months.

Our time in school is one of life’s real milestones. We know it brings huge hopes and, sometimes, a few nerves. At North Monastery our aim is simple: to make every child feel safe, known and valued from day one. We will nurture each child’s natural curiosity, celebrate their small and large successes, and help them grow, academically, socially and emotionally in a calm, joyful environment.

As a past pupil of North Monastery (primary and secondary) and someone who has worked in mainstream, special education and autism settings, I bring both a personal connection to this place and a professional commitment to inclusion. I believe every child deserves an equal chance to succeed, and that when home and school work together; with kindness, clear communication and shared expectations — children thrive.

We are proud to work under the Edmund Rice Schools Trust and to live out values of compassion, hospitality and justice in day-to-day school life. Over the coming months we will continue to develop welcoming classroom spaces, safe outdoor areas and strong supports so every child can learn with confidence.

I look forward to meeting you, hearing your hopes for your child, and working with you to make sure every child at North Monastery reaches their potential.

With warm regards,

Damien Daly, Principal Scoil Mhuire Fatima — North Monastery Primary School
