• To provide a broad and enrich curriculum for all children so that they may achieve their full potential.

• To create a safe and encouraging learning environment where pupils, staff and parents feel valued and empowered.

• To provide continual professional development opportunities for all staff which will support the educational development of each child.

The school is a valuable part of the Irish speaking community in Derry, which passes its heritage on to the next generation.  If   pupils are to survive as Irish speakers in the community at large, the support of the existing Irish community, public institutions and government is necessary to ensure the needs of young Irish speakers are met, in every aspect of their lives.
