Northampton National School is a co-educational, rural primary school with a catholic ethos under the patronage of Bishop Michael Duignan. We celebrate La’le Bríde every year with the making of the Crosóg Bríde, with songs, poems, stories and an exploration of pisreoga & customs associated with St. Bridget. In our school, we have a keen interest in local history and folklore . Children enjoy Music, Drama, and Art and enthusiastically pursue sport, especially hurling, football, camogie, soccer and rugby.
It has always been part of the school ethos to provide a holistic education for all the children in our care. We are conscious that we are educating children for life. Our Green School Programme educates our pupils to be responsible and environmentally aware. They are encouraged to develop a spirit of generosity towards all people and the environment.
In our school, there is a wonderful social aspect to the events run throughout the year in association with the Board of Management and Parents Association.
