Welcome to St Patrick’s Girls’ National School, Gardiner’s Hill, Cork City

We are a Girls School, situated in Cork City on Gardiner’s Hill with pedestrian access just off Ballyhooley Road. We are a school with a Christian ethos, under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Cork and Ross. We have classes from First class to Sixth class with pupils between the ages of seven and thirteen.

We strive for excellence in all areas of a child’s development. This involves promoting courtesy and respect and self-discipline, honesty and trustworthiness, tolerance, loyalty and generosity in all the children. Enhancement of self-esteem is fostered through curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Literacy and Numeracy are priority school subjects. Specialist programmes in Visual and Performing Arts, Science and Physical Education provide our students with outstanding opportunities to discover and develop their interests and skills.
