School History
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 (St. Joseph's NS) and girls (St. Brigid's NS) school on the current campus.
An autism class was opened in 1999. Our School now has 4 autism classes which continues to operate very successfully as an integrated part of our primary school community.
The school also participates in the Department of Education's Band 2 DEIS programme.
