Mercy Primary School

Welcome to Mercy Primary School, located in the heart of Galway on Saint Francis Street. Our institution is a point of interest for all those who value quality education and a strong community ethos. Our primary school provides a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.

Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1887, we have a rich heritage of providing exceptional education to generations of young learners. Our ethos is firmly rooted in the values of the Mercy tradition, which emphasizes respect, compassion, justice, and service to others. We are proud to continue this tradition and to make a positive impact on the lives of our students and their families.

At Mercy Primary School, we focus on providing a holistic education that balances academic excellence with personal growth and well-being. Our dedicated and experienced teachers work closely with each student to understand their individual needs and strengths, and to provide tailored support to help them achieve their goals. Our curriculum is dynamic, engaging, and rooted in best practice, with a strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy, STEM, the arts, and social and emotional learning.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sport, music, drama, and language learning. We believe that a well-rounded education is one that gives students the opportunity to explore their interests and passions, and to develop new skills and friendships along the way.

Partnership with parents and the wider community is at the heart of our ethos. We work collaboratively with families to ensure that each child enjoys a positive and enriching educational experience. We also have strong links with local businesses, charitable organizations, and cultural institutions, which enables us to provide our students with a broad and diverse range of learning opportunities.
