PATRICIAN PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWBRIDGE
Patrician Primary School, situated in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, boasts a long and rich history in the town. Originally founded in 1914 as St. Conleth's Boys National School, the institution has evolved considerably over the decades.
In 1939, the Patrician Brothers, a Catholic religious order, took over the school's management. This marked a shift towards an all-boys infant school, a structure that remained until 1989 when it reverted to a co-educational establishment under the leadership of Brother Michael Broderick.
Today, Patrician Primary School is a thriving co-educational school catering for classes from 2nd to 6th. With a current enrolment of approximately 325 pupils, it is led by Principal David Dempsey and a dedicated team of teachers and support staff.
The school maintains a strong Catholic ethos, falling under the patronage of the Bishop of Kildare & Leighlin. While grounded in tradition, Patrician Primary School also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including music, sports, and the arts, ensuring a well-rounded education for its pupils.
