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.

School Aims
  • To develop a spirit of happiness and co-operation among all who work in the school.
  • To prepare the pupils to live and work in their own environment and to develop their attitudes and skills, enabling them to be responsible citizens.
  • To cater for the needs of all pupils, irrespective of academic ability.
  • To develop order and discipline in the school so that all aspects of pupils' personality may be developed and learning can be a pleasure.
