Welcome to Our Lady's Grove Primary School!
In Our Lady’s Grove Primary School we strive to create a happy, safe, loving, caring and nurturing environment conducive to the attainment of the educational, creative, moral and spiritual potential of each child, enabling them to participate as responsible citizens at home, in school and within the school community at present, and ultimately within our society. Our Lady’s Grove looks to be a school of educational excellence with a commitment to develop and enrich each child’s personality through a child-centred education which promotes inclusion, tolerance, respect and an openness to the world around us.

Thinking of you and wishing you all the very best on your special day! Our thanks to Ms Hickey, Mr McNamara, Ms Ryan, Ms Byrne, Ms Goggins and Ms Hyland. A huge thank you to the two 5th classes who sang at both ceremonies, well done! Thank you Ms Beaney & Ms Murphy. Thank you to Patrice, who played so beautifully at the two ceremonies. Confirmation day is a family celebration! Our Parent Association hosted a lovely party downstairs in the Parish Centre and families enjoyed teas and coffees. Thank you to our PA for organising this lovely event for our 6th class families after both ceremonies. We would like to thank Bishop Paul Dempsey, Fr Paul, Fr Moses and Annette for all of their support. We also wish to thank all in the Parish Centre, Parish Office and the Faith Community in Dundrum Parish.
