Our School
Newtown National School is a welcoming and inclusive, co-educational primary school under the Patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Kildare & Leighlin.
We are located 8.21 km from Kilcock and 5.8 km from Enfield.
The staff and students work together in an environment of mutual co-operation and respect. The staff comprises of 4 mainstream class teachers, 2 SET teachers, 2 Autism Class teachers, 9 SNA’s and a part time secretary.
Each classroom, including the learning support room, has a modern interactive whiteboard enhancing learning opportunities and bringing subjects to life. This is further enhanced by the school’s tablets which the children use to access touch typing programmes, times tables applications and other ICT based earning activities.
Building
The current school building was originally built in 1962 and was extensively refurbished in 2021. We foster a child centered approach to learning and all staff work hard to ensure the children have positive school experiences.
The polytunnel beside the school acts as a space for the children to visit allowing them time to think, talk or read.
Adjacent to this is the Church of the Nativity and Newtown Hall where we perform our plays at Christmas.
