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. We are a warm, friendly and welcoming school and we hope that you and your child will be very happy during their time here. Because working together is so important to us at St Francis National School, we have rebuilt our website so as to make it more attractive and informative and so that we can update it with ease on a very regular basis.
