St Peter’s National School welcomes you to our website. Please click the links above for up to date information on our school and for an insight into our work, celebrations and achievements.

Our school came together today for a very special whole-school production, Children of the World. The play celebrated the joy, hope and togetherness of the festive season, reminding us that although children around the world may live in different places, we share the same dreams of peace, kindness, and love.

Every class played an important role, with pupils taking part through drama, music, singing, and narration. From colourful costumes to confident performances, the children showed wonderful enthusiasm and teamwork, making the production truly memorable!

Our pupils were delighted to enjoy a lovely hot chocolate treat organised by our principal Mr Connaughton.

A very special thanks to Santa and his kind helper for delivering the hot chocolate to each classroom as their visit added extra  excitement to the day!

Congratulations to these two talented stars on achieving 1st and 2nd place in the Credit Union Art Competition!

We are incredibly proud of their creativity, effort and artistic skills. Well done to both boys on this fantastic achievement!

Our annual Christmas Jumble Sale, organised by 6th Class with the help of their teachers Mrs Flynn and Mrs Cleare, was a fantastic success!

There was a wonderful buzz around the school as pupils and staff enjoyed a wide range of activities. The day included a very popular bake sale, exciting raffles, a Name the Teddy competition and lots of other fun games, all of which were enthusiastically supported.

Thanks to the hard work, creativity and teamwork of everyone involved, an incredible €1,000+ was raised. We are extremely proud of our 6th Class pupils for their organisation and effort. We are very grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered and supported the event.

Well done to all involved on another memorable and successful Jumble Sale! 👏

As part our Big Sister initiative, 6th Class girls spend dedicated time with our 2nd Class pupils, getting to know one another through walks, games and shared activities. These special moments give our younger pupils a friendly, familiar face to look up to, while our older pupils develop leadership, responsibility and kindness.

The Big Sister programme has already created many smiles and meaningful connections, and we are proud of the care and enthusiasm shown by everyone involved. It is a wonderful example of how pupils at St Peter’s N.S. support and look out for one another.

Pupils from 4th, 5th and 6th class enjoyed an talk with author Pádraig Kenny in Athlone Library.

Well done to our gaelic football team who competed in the blitz in Athlone Community College. Thanks to Ms. Walsh and Mr. Kenny for coaching them.
