It is with great pride that I introduce myself as Principal and welcome you to Kilcummin National School.

Here in Kilcummin N.S. we believe that every child is unique and that it is our task to foster the development of each individual student. As a Catholic primary school, we uphold a Catholic ethos in our school that is welcoming and supportive to all. Some of our core values are:

 

• Promoting spiritual and human development

• Achieving quality in teaching and learning

• Showing respect for every person

• Creating community and

• Being just and responsible​

 

We hold a strong holistic view of learning and the learner as our students are encouraged to give of their best, and in doing so, to reach their potential in a happy, caring and nurturing environment. We empathise the need for pupils to develop a range of skills and values that enable their personal well-being, active citizenship and lifelong learning. With our student-centred approach, we aim to build pupils’ self-confidence so that they have the courage to attempt and overcome new challenges. Our students have made us very proud; their talents and initiative have astounded us as teachers and parents.

​

 

As Principal of Kilcummin N.S., I invite you to explore our website and if you would like to learn more about the school, or arrange a visit, please follow the contact link above. I hope that the website addresses some of the needs of the stakeholders of Kilcummin National School and those of the wider community.  I look forward to serving the educational needs of the people of Kilcummin and wish continued success to our pupils, teachers and parents in all areas of life.
