Board of Management

Primary schools in Ireland are managed by a group of volunteers who have a particular interest in the provision of primary schooling in their area. This team is made up of parents’ nominees, teachers' nominees, the principal, nominees of the patron and community nominees who have a particular interest or expertise.

The responsibilities of the Board of Management include:

• Ensuring the quality of teaching and  learning at the school
• Recruitment of staff
• Ensuring child safeguarding and anti-bullying measures are in place
• Developing and reviewing the school plan
• Developing school policies

Nominees to the Board of Management act on behalf of their constituents, but cannot take direction from - or report back to - those constituents.




Please note for all general inquiries please contact reception on 01 8074969. Parents and guardians are reminded that the Agreed Parental Complaints Procedures for Primary Schools must be followed when addressing concerns.
