Welcome to St. Mark’s School Website 🌟
About Us
St Mark’s Special National School was established in 1974, and moved to its present location on Station Road in November 1978.
It is a co-educational school for pupils who have been assessed as having a mild general learning disability.
Our Vision
We aim to provide a caring, learning environment which facilitates the nurturing and development of each pupil's full educational potential.
Individualised Learning
St. Mark's recognises that all pupils are individuals with personal gifts, strengths and needs, and we offer individualised education to all pupils which is centred around their own personal Individual Educational Plan.
This individualised learning is dovetailed with national programmes which results in certification at Levels 1, 2 or 3 for Junior Cycle students and QQI Level 1, 2 or 3 modules at Senior Cycle.
Achievements and Progression
As the vast majority of students in St. Mark’s are of post primary age, this certification offers our students a real sense of achievement in line with mainstream schools.
This achievement is then recognised throughout the school which positively prepares our primary class, which is made up of 5th and 6th class students, for transition to Junior Cycle.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to parents and families who are interested in finding out more about our school, either through our website or by contacting the school office on 045-486579.
