Principal’s Welcome

Céad Míle Fáilte — A Hundred Thousand Welcomes

Welcome to Castle Park School, nestled in the heart of Dalkey, South County Dublin.

At Castle Park, we believe every child deserves an education that nurtures not only academic achievement but also personal growth. We provide a supportive, inspiring environment where children are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. When your child joins us, they become part of a vibrant and caring school community committed to helping them reach their full potential.

We are proud to be Ireland’s first High Performance Learning World Class School, a recognition of our inclusive and forward-thinking approach to education. Our highly qualified and experienced staff deliver a broad curriculum enriched by specialist teaching in Science, the Arts, Languages, Music, and Sport.

Our exceptional facilities include a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a full-sized sports hall, an astro turf pitch, a dedicated Forest School area, and an Innovation and Creativity Hub. These spaces support exploration, play, and hands-on learning every day, and reflect the wide range of opportunities available at Castle Park.

Caring for our pupils’ well-being is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our long-standing motto, “Mens sana in corpore sano”, a sound mind in a healthy body, we ensure a balanced education that nurtures the whole child.

To enrich our academic and pastoral programme, we offer a daily schedule of over 40 extracurricular activities. These experiences extend beyond the classroom, helping pupils discover new interests and build essential skills like resilience, teamwork, and problem-solving.

I warmly invite you to visit us and experience a school community where learning, curiosity, well-being, and personal growth are all part of daily life.

Mr Tommy Nolan

Acting Principal
