Welcome to Greystones Community National School
|
Greystones Community National School is a new primary provision for the Greystones area that opened for the first time in September 2015 taking in Junior Infants only but will expand year on year up to 6th Class. At present we have First Class, Senior Infants and Junior Infants. We are initially based in temporary accommodation at Greystones Rugby Club but planning has been approved for our new building in Charlesland and hope to move in early 2019.
Greystones CNS is under the patronage of Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board. It is a state operated multi-denominational, co-educational primary. It provides children of all beliefs and none with effective life skills and a rounded education. The school provides the full National Primary School Curriculum as specified by the Department of Education & Skills. We are delighted to have been given the honour of opening Greystones’ newest primary provision and are very excited about the wonderful opportunity that exists to forge a new, inclusive school where all stakeholders are respected and valued. |

Visting the School
As all of our staff are teaching we would ask that people do not visit the school without first making an appointment, which people are more than welcome to do. Please email on greystonescns@kwetb.ie or call 0874007442 to arrange a visit as we will not be able to spend time with any visitors who call unannounced.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
"My name is Rory Kinane, I am the Principal of Greystones CNS and am thrilled to be leading the school as we begin the journey for our Community National School. I first qualified as a teacher in 2005 and have recently been a Head Teacher in a primary school in the UK. Originally from Tipperary, I have taught in both the Irish and the UK system at all age levels and have returned home to this exciting opportunity to create what will first and foremost be an inclusive school. Inclusion is something I am passionate about and will work incessantly to ensure that all children who attend Greystones CNS are able to achieve to the very best of their abilities – academically, physically, culturally, morally and where requested spiritually. For me inclusion also means that all stakeholders of the school community are valued and respected. I am keenly aware of how important home and family is in children achieving at school and look to establish strong relationships with all parents/carers. It is with great pleasure that we begin to establish what I feel will be a wonderful environment for our children to begin their learning journeys."
