Delgany National School

Delgany National School is a co-educational school under Church of Ireland Management. There are just over two hundred pupils ranging in age from four to twelve years. There are eleven full time teachers and a number of part time specialist teachers.

The Patron of the school is the Archbishop of Dublin and Glendalough. The school is administered by the Board of Management.

Christ Church Delgany and Delgany National School have always been at the heart of the village of Delgany which nestles between the mountains and the sea. It is undoubtedly one of the prettiest villages in Co. Wicklow. The increased population in the area has brought with it many developments in the surrounding areas in recent years, without taking from the charm and uniqueness of the village.

Church Links

The school maintains strong links with the parish. Pupils participate in church services such as Harvest Thanksgiving, Carol Service and also in Beginning and End of Term Services. Pupils also attend the Dioscesan Schools Service in Christ Church Cathedral at the beginning of the school year and also share in an Ecumenical Service with other schools in the locality during Lent.

Our School Crest

Our school crest was designed by one of our teachers. It consists of an owl and some trout. The owl has long been a symbol of wisdom and learning. The trout represent the Three Trout River that flows through Delgany.

Delgany National School Vision Statement

As part of the local and broader community, Delgany National School aspires to provide a positive, secure environment, which fosters independent, confident pupils who think responsibly and critically.

We aim to achieve this by providing opportunity for learning, interaction and development of life skills, while preserving standards in attainment, within a Christian setting.

Each child will be recognised, valued and helped to reach their full potential as self-reflective caring citizens.
