About Us:

St. Patrick’s Central National School, Kilmaine, is a co-educational Catholic School under the patronage of the Archbishop of Tuam.  We are an eight teacher school comprising of five mainstream classes, an ASD class and two SET teachers.  The school building was opened in 1987, and we opened our first ASD Class in 2022.  At present we cater for 125 pupils.

Scribbles Playgroup is also located on the grounds of the school, and they offer full daycare service, ECCE preschool, after-school service and breakfast club.

Our Parents’ Association was established in 2023, and our school benefits greatly from the support it receives from our Parents Association. This committed group of people meet regularly, and in partnership with the Board of Management and school staff help create a positive learning environment for our pupils. 

We are continually striving to better our school and one of the areas we are currently concentrating on is our external facilities.    In 2023 we added an ASD classroom along with a SET classroom.  We also added an Astro Play Area to the rear of the school.  In 2024 we purchased additional grounds with a view to enhancing our outdoor play area.  As a school community, we are currently working on fundraising efforts to help develop this exciting project.
