 I'm Philip Salter, the Principal of St Patrick's National School, Dalkey.
We are a Church of Ireland co-educational school under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin. Our pupil population is drawn from the local area.
The school's ethos is committed to providing a caring environment for the pupils and to enabling their holistic development.
There has been a school on the site since 1870. The present structure was built in 1998. It is a modern, spacious building comprising of four classrooms, a general-purpose room and a library/learning support room. |

St Patrick’s Church, Dalkey, was consecrated on 5th March 1843 to provide a place of worship for the Church of Ireland (Anglican) community in an area 13km south of Dublin City, on the coast between Dun Laoghaire and Bray, Co. Wicklow.
Designed by Jacob Owen and built on a magnificent site overlooking the Irish Sea, it has an impressive ashlar granite façade with narrow gothic windows. The Church of the Assumption (RC) and the Loreto Convent were also completed in Dalkey in the 1840’s. |
