Newtown National School is a welcoming and inclusive, co-educational primary school under the Patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Kildare & Leighlin. We are located 8.21 km from Kilcock and 5.8 km from Enfield.
The staff and students work together in an environment of mutual co-operation and respect. The staff comprises of 4 mainstream class teachers, 2 SET teachers, 2 Autism Class teachers, 9 SNA's and a part time secretary.
The current school building was originally built in 1962 and was extensively refurbished in 2021. We foster a child centered approach to learning and all staff work hard to ensure the children have positive school experiences.
Each classroom, including the learning support room, has a modern interactive whiteboard enhancing learning opportunities and bringing subjects to life. This is further enhanced by the school’s tablets which the children use to access touch typing programmes, times tables applications and other ICT based earning activities.
The polytunnel beside the school acts as a space for the children to visit allowing them time to think, talk or read.
Adjacent to this is the Church of the Nativity and Newtown Hall where we perform our plays at Christmas.
The new building started in March 2020 and paused during Covid lockdown.
Four new classrooms and two special education rooms have been built. All the pupils have settled into these large spacious room, well equipped with the latest large screen Promethean ActivBoard Touch.
New yard space and a soft play area have been added. The old heating system has been replaced. The landscaping and planting of new grass was carried out recently.
We are waiting on a new prefab for the back of the school and on it’s arrival the prefab at the front of the school will be removed. The front yard tarmac will then be laid and this will complete the project.
We are at the planning stages for the new ASD unit which we expect to be built by 2023.
It's been a long road to get to where we are but we are delighted with our new facilities, please have a look at our progress photos.
