Our History
The current school is the result of an amalgamation which took place in 1978 when the Church of Ireland schools in Shercock, Kingscourt and Carrickmacross were united in the current location in Kingscourt. Throughout the years we have welcomed pupils from the Meath, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth areas. The school is serviced by two buses and is within walking distance of Kingscourt, crèches and after school facilities.
