Principal’s Welcome

I’m delighted to welcome you to Kiltale National School website.

Our vision is that our children develop to their full potential, engaging with the world creatively, compassionately, and confidently.

We work with our pupils, parents and community to provide a caring, safe, happy and stimulating learning environment where each pupil is supported, nurtured and inspired in developing their gifts and talents.

Kiltale NS is a small, friendly, rural school set in the green fields of County Meath. We greatly value our strong relationship with parents, the parish and local community. In addition to covering our national curriculum, the children have many opportunities to take part in music, drama and a variety of sports. The well-being of each child in our school is our highest priority.

The children come from the locality and are enthusiastic, co-operative and active learners working together with the staff, in a spirit of inclusivity, diversity, mutual encouragement and respect.

Our experienced staff team is highly committed to achieving excellence in teaching and learning.

Our dedicated Board of Management, drawn from the local community, provides oversight and ensures adherence to our standards, principles and ethos.

If you would like to visit the school, please contact the school office, at 046-9025619.

– Colin McElroy, Principal
