St. Finian’s aims to create a happy, safe, inclusive and nurturing environment that fosters a sense of belonging and wellbeing. We are a co-educational Catholic school which strives to develop the academic, spiritual, creative, personal and social skills of the child so that s/he may be better able to realise his/her potential as an individual and as an active member of society. While St. Finian’s is a school with a Catholic ethos, we are also welcoming of other faiths and no faith. As a formal agent of education within the Catholic Community, this school models and transmits a philosophy of life inspired by belief in God. The policies, practices and attitudes of the school, therefore, are inspired by Gospel values.
