Welcome to St Coen's National School

Welcome to St Coen's NS, Rathnew. Thank you for taking the time to explore our site and showing an interest in our school.

At St Coen's NS we believe in providing a broad, balanced curriculum that holistically develops the student: academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and creatively. We provide a safe, nurturing environment that caters for children of all abilities and interests.

We have 16 mainstream classrooms and 2 special classes for children with a diagnosis of autism. As a DEIS Urban Band 1 school we have a full-time Home School Community Liaison Teacher (HSCL), access to free hot meals for all students and involvement in the School Completion Programme. All of these supports help us to sustain attendance, participation and retention in school for all our students, particularly the most vulnerable in society. We aim to promote a love of life-long learning to allow students to reach their potential in life.
