All
Saints National School (Est. 1847) is located on the Main
Street of the town of Carnew, Co.Wicklow. We are a two teacher
school (under the patronage of the Church of Ireland Bishop of
Ferns).
Our
school aims to provide a postive environment where children of
all faiths are welcomed. Children are encouraged to be enthusiatic,
caring and hardworking
in order to reach their full potential.
Both classrooms are equipped with interactive
white boards and children’s computers.
History and Current Profile
The school
is a listed building and is described as follows in the Wicklow
County Council Town Plan;
beside
the Church of Ireland Church is a circa 1840 building of
three bays and two storeys with rendered walls, granite,
chamfered dressings, transom and mullioned windows, a high
pitched roof and gables.
There is a wing on the east containing the door case.
There is
a large playground for the children at the back of the church
with grass and tarmac which are marked out for basketball
and playground games.
The former teachers residence was completely renovated in 2000
to provide a very large meeting area which can be divided into
two rooms when necessary. There are also modern kichen facilities
and toilets upstairs. Downstairs, in the school there are two large classrooms and
a secretary's office.
Children have access to computers in both rooms.
