Here in Derrylatinee St. Francis' Primary School, we are inspired by the life and teachings of Christ and are committed to living out Christian values in all that we do. We strive to work together as a team to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where everyone can feel safe, happy and secure.

We foster a child-centred approach in everything we do and are committed to developing the whole child, academically, spiritually and socially so that they can contribute positively to society. 

High quality teaching and learning for every child is at the heart of our mission to ensure each child reaches their full potential. Mól an óige agus tíochaigh sí. 

We believe that fostering positive relationships with family and community, and effective communication with all involved in the education of our pupils is central to achieving our vision and aims. 

Our school motto -

We work, play and pray together as Jesus taught us.
