Mission Statement:

St. Patrick's N.S., Kyle Park is a school which strives to provide a caring, happy and secure learning environment where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of our pupils are addressed.

While it is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to children of other religious beliefs and none.

At St. Patrick's N.S. Kyle Park, we strive to help each individual pupil achieve his/her full potential and place a high emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy as a means of reaching this goal. We work in partnership with parents and the community to empower students to live in and contribute to a rapidly changing society and to act as responsible, independent children and later self-sufficient adults who care about others and their environment.

 

Our School Motto:

"Iarracht ar talamh, réalt sa spéir"

Our school motto represents a philosophy which we aim to emulate in all that we do at Kyle Park N.S. and thereby instil in our pupils - Great effort on the ground will reach the stars in the sky, try your best and you will shine. We believe it is a mentality which will stand to them in all aspects of life.

History:

 

Kyle Park Agricultural School was built by Thomas G. Stoney on his estate in Kyle Park in 1834. It was one of the first of its' kind in the British Isles. A skilled draughtsman himself, Thomas Stoney won a Silver Medal at the Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society in Dublin, for his design of Kyle Park Agricultural School.

It was built to accomodate 80 boys and 50 girls, in two classrooms. Six acres of land were attached and the Senior boys received instruction in agriculture. It was used as an Agricultural School up to 1875. 

It continued to be used as a National School up until 1953 when it was replaced by our present school - Kyle Park N.S., just down the road.

In 1999, both classrooms were extended to double their size, a tennis / basketball court was added and our car park was developed.

In 2023 the school was extended to add two new SET rooms, a disability access toilet facility and a kitchen. In 2024, we added a modular building giving us a brand new modern classroom.
