Welcome to St Francis National School
St Francis NS is located in Blackrock, County Louth. We were established in 2007 and we are now an 18 class Primary School, with 2 classes per year and two Special Autism Classes. We are a vibrant and supportive community and we strive to bring out the best in every child, working alongside parents to achieve this aim.
