Parents, Guardians, a Chairde,
Deciding on a secondary school for your son or daughter is a major decision for each parent. As principal here in Mountrath Community School, I can say with conviction that the experienced and caring staff in Mountrath Community School is deeply committed to your child’s transition from primary to secondary school. The level of genuine care and support shown to the students is of the highest level. The open and warm relationships between students and teachers is immediately apparent when walking through our corridors and witnessing the interactions and relationships between teachers and students. In Mountrath Community School, our students feel valued and are at the heart of all that we do and the students are in turn very proud of their school and their achievements and their school.
The level of student expectations is set very high which has consistently driven our academic success. Students are always expected and encouraged to achieve their individual potential. This website is designed to provide a snapshot of the broad range of subjects on offer in our school as well as our modern facilities and extensive extra-curricular activities available.
Our school boasts a fantastic range of facilities such as Engineering rooms, Computer Rooms, Home Economic Rooms, Woodwork rooms, Science Laboratories, Music room, Art studios, Gym and PE Hall with outdoor pitches and courts. Locally, we have an unparalleled and long history of academic and extra-curricular achievements and our core values permeate all aspects of the students’ experience.
There is an extensive curriculum available and students can access subjects ranging from the practical to the academic all of which are delivered by a highly motivated and dedicated staff. We understand fully that the time spent with us in our school provides our students with the roadmap for each students’ future success. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly, and it is something we value deeply.
