About
Our School
Rathmichael Parish National School is located in
Shankill,
South County Dublin. It is a 12 teacher-school, with a Principal, 8
mainstream class teachers and 3 resource teachers. We have 5 special
needs assistants, a school secretary and a school caretaker.
The
school was
established in
1825 and was originally located on the site of the Silver Tassie. The
current site was given to the parish by Sir Charles William Compton
Domville in 1891.
In 1892, the school was completed and dedicated to the Rev. Edward
Burton, the first Rector of Rathmichael Church who had died in 1890.
The school's patron is the Church of Ireland Bishop of Dublin and
Glendalough.
