As your child continues their education from pre-school, you face the very important decision of where to send your child for their primary school years. Scoil Mhuire, Davidstown is a friendly, local option that strives for both the academic and personal development for all our pupils.
The school has begun a transformation with the work and art of our students adorning the walls. There are four bright, modern classrooms, a learning support and resource room, along with a general purpose room and sensory room. There has been huge investment in technology, the science curriculum and the arts in the past year with a view to providing our students with hands-on, progressive and constructivist opportunities to engage with the curriculum. See the Pupil Activities menu above to view the curriculum enrichment programmes taking place in our school.
The grounds of the school have also begun to be transformed with a huge amount of development taking place last year, including the creation of our school fruit and vegetable garden, outdoor classroom, sensory garden trail, willow hut and new yard play markings. Our parents and pupils have more ideas to develop the grounds of the school which will be put into action in the spring.
We invite you to join us.

Harvest time! We have been learning where food comes from, from bees to apples, corn and more. Great fun! Looking forward to making popcorn this week!
We were delighted to have a virtual visit from author Patricia Forde organised by Enniscorthy Library. www.patriciafordeauthor.com/bumpfizzle
Patricia was wonderful and the children thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Many thanks to Patricia and our friends in the library.
Six Bricks Lego Club! Selina and Ms Ratcliffe recently completed the Six Bricks Lego training sessions with the Co Wexford Education Centre. Ms Crean then built a custom made, huge Lego building station in our Nuture Room.
Through the fun of LEGO children can practice their memory, movement, creativity and more.
During these sessions our children practice skills for learning:
🧱Language such as describing in rich detail, giving clear instructions, explaining your reasons, and telling stories, which helps you to communicate with others and express your ideas.
🧱Problem solving including to stay focused, and remember a task or a challenge, set goals and make plans, come up with creative ideas, and reflect on what you do and how you do it.
🧱Collaboration as in working together in pairs or teams, share turns and the materials you work with, learn from your peers and their ideas, and give each other roles and responsibilities.
