St Patrick's Primary School, Rathfriland, Newry

Welcome!

I am delighted to welcome you to our school website.


Established in 1998, following the amalgamation of St Colman’s Primary, Barnmeen and Lurgancahone Primary School, our school continues to flourish with a strong reputation for high quality education and community spirit.
Guided by our motto Fun, Friendship and Learning, and our core values—Respect, Achievement, Teamwork, Inclusion and Enjoyment—we provide a warm, caring environment where every child is valued and supported to reach their full potential. As a Catholic school, we are committed to nurturing Christian spirituality and working in partnership with parents, our parish and the wider community.


Our website offers a glimpse into the vibrant life of our school. If you would like more information or wish to arrange a visit to the school, please feel free to contact me.
