Newtownmountkennedy Primary School is under the patronage of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.
It was established as a co-educational school following the amalgamation of a boys and girls school on the current campus.
A unit for pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) was opened in 1999 and operates very successfully as an integrated part of the primary school.
The school also participates in Band 2 of the Department’s DEIS programme.
