Choosing the right school for your child

As your child continues their education from pre-school, you face the very important decision of where to send your child for their primary school years.  St. Peter’s Primary School is a friendly, local option that strives for both academic and personal development for all.

Throughout the last number of years the school has been transformed with bright art work, cartoon style murals, new flooring and an interactive library and computer room. The addition of five brand new state of the art classrooms, a special needs classroom, learning support, and resource rooms have all helped to keep our school at the forefront of providing a 21st century education to your child.

St. Peter's prides itself on having child-friendly spaces to learn.

We are an extremely high tech school and each class has an interactive whiteboard. We pride ourselves on keeping up with modern technologies and this is evident throughout our school. We have featured many times on Den TV and have had many famous people come to visit the school for various reasons. Indeed the national and international awards that the school has recently won for our blog (www.stpetersbrayblog.com) are just a small indication of the innovative teaching occurring in St. Peter’s on a daily basis.

All of these are great reasons why St. Peter’s Primary School is the right school for your child.  Our teacher: pupil ratio is amongst the lowest in Bray and this will ensure that your child gets plenty of individual attention. We are a growing school with big advantages.

People regularly comment on the friendly atmosphere, bright colours, happy children, beautiful artwork and top class equipment when they talk about the school. As famous author Roddy Doyle said during his recent visit to the school, “There is a lovely sense of fun when you come through the doors. The boys are so bright and the colours and atmosphere in a school I have never experienced before.”
