We place a strong emphasis on creating a happy and co-operative learning environment for those who work and study in our school.
Welcome
St. Michael’s National School is a co-educational Catholic primary school, under the patronage of the Bishop of Ossory. We welcome children of all faiths, and of none. We are a growing school and are going from strength to strength.
Currently we have 65 pupils attending our school, 34 boys and 31 girls. Each classroom in our school is brightly coloured and the many resources provide a stimulating environment for the children to learn in. The three mainstream classrooms each have an interactive whiteboard and the children regularly use iPads to enhance their learning. We pride ourselves on having the most active children in Ireland! Healthy bodies make healthy minds.
The school employs a part-time secretary, Ann, each Tuesday and Thursday until 9am-3pm. The secretary will answer any queries regarding the school during these hours.

Danesfort Parish
Danesfort is a very vibrant and proactive community. St. Michael’s N.S is situated right at the heart of it, shoulder to shoulder with the church, GAA club and Danesfort Community Centre. We are lucky to have Danesfort Community Childcare Centre next door, where many of our pupils attend before and after school. We are blessed to have such fantastic facilities on our doorstep, in a beautiful rural setting and yet just 5 minutes from Kilkenny City.
