Children and families at St. Mary’s represent a wide variety of social backgrounds, family structures, ethnic groups and religions.

We value the right of each person to respect, courtesy and the recognition of individual differences. We work actively to ensure that all adults and children are given every opportunity to achieve, to recognise their own worth and to play an important part in our community.

We expect and work towards high achievement from all pupils. Each child’s contribution to the classroom and school is welcomed and valued. We make sure that they have the opportunity to learn to the best of their ability and to raise their individual academic achievement.

Education at St. Mary’s is designed to benefit all of our children and to celebrate the rich, cultural diversity of Dublin’s local inner-city community.
