Saint Fiachra’s Senior National School opened its doors for the first time on July 1^st 1978 and so 2018 marks the 40^th anniversary of our first academic year. Mr. Jim Kilty was the first Principal, Mr. Tom Barrett was  Deputy Principal and the remainder of the original staff consisted of Mr. Tom Carey, Ms. Brid Gleeson and Ms. Maura Tansey.

From these humble beginnings of 5 teachers catering for 152 children, we have grown to a staff of 38 teachers catering for some 720 boys and girls from 3^rd class to 6^th.

The mission of our school is to provide a comprehensive and inclusive education of the highest quality to enable our pupils to reach their potential as citizens of Ireland spiritually, morally, physically and academically.

Our pupils come mainly from the greater Beaumont area and some originated in countries far from these shores. With the proximity of  Beaumont Hospital, the school has welcomed the children of staff members and we cherish the enriching contribution these children make to the fabric of our school.
