Churchtown National School

Mission Statement

Churchtown N.S. is a school which strives to provide a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure learning environment, where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of our pupils are identified and addressed.

While Churchtown N.S. is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to children of all other religious beliefs and none.

We aim to provide an appropriate, stimulating and broadly challenging education for all of our pupils. We aim to encourage language learning and the appreciation of languages and their place in our culture and heritage.

We endeavour to enhance the self-esteem of everyone in the school community, to imbue in pupils respect for themselves, for other people and for property, while encouraging the development of personal responsibility.

We strive to promote, both individually and collectively, the professional and personal development of teachers through staff development programmes.

Churchtown N.S. encourages our pupils to have respect for diversity, environmental awareness and appreciation of our community.
