Fáilte and Welcome to Monastery N.S.

We are the longest established primary school in Ardee with an enrolment of approximately 260 pupils and we commenced the coeducation of boys and girls in Junior Infants in September 2022. This year we have girls and boys in Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1st class and 2nd class. We have high standards in literacy and numeracy and ensure that your child has a rounded education with an emphasis on music, art, drama, sport and pupil wellbeing.

Our school facilities and space are second to none. We have a beautiful newly refurbished and extended school building containing 11 mainstream classrooms with double cubicle toilets for boys and girls in each one. We also have 6 support teachers and an English as an Additional Language teacher (EAL). We have a huge gymnasium with a Climbing Wall and Sensory Stations in our corridors. We have state of the art technology with each classroom having high speed wireless internet access, a new Activpanel, a new PC, a HD webcam, laptops, iPads, Chromebooks, access to a large amount of educational software and access to centralised photocopying and printing services.We also have two excellent yards; one secure and enclosed yard for infants only with new playground equipment, Go Karts and a new Wendy House and a large Senior yard with a large perspex shelter, soccer pitches, a basketball court and beautiful seating benches. All of our pupils use our School Field with two sets of gaelic football posts, a beautiful nature walk and a running track. All in all, we have the largest and best playing facilities for our pupils of any school in the north-east. Our spacious new building and modern facilities provide us with a 21st Century centre for the teaching and learning of your son or daughter.
