St. Felim’s National School is a welcoming and vibrant primary school situated in Cavan Town. We cater for children from 2nd class through to 6th class and are proud to be an important part of the local community.
At St. Felim’s, we strive to create a positive, inclusive and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. We recognise that every pupil is unique, with their own individual personality, strengths, interests and talents, and we take great care to support their development throughout their time in our school.
Our primary focus is on the children in our care. We aim to provide a broad and balanced, child-centred education that encourages pupils to learn, explore, create and develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. We value respect, kindness, inclusion and cooperation and work in partnership with parents, guardians and the wider school community to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
We are proud of the warm and welcoming atmosphere within our school and of the strong sense of community that exists among our pupils, staff and families. We believe that education is about much more than academic achievement and aim to support the social, emotional, physical and personal development of every child.
