Kilcoskan National School is an Irish primary school under the patronage of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, catering for boys and girls from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. We see the purpose of primary school education as being to help each child to realize his or her full potential and begin to take up his or her role in society.

Drawing from Christian values our school strives to provide a friendly, inclusive, caring, happy, secure and well- ordered learning environment. We nurture the growth of the whole child spiritually, morally, cognitively, emotionally, socially and imaginatively. We love all living things and we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. We work together as a team. We see our school as an important focal point for our community and we work with parents and guardians as partners in their children's education
