Our school is a two teacher school nestled in the beautiful countryside of the Glen of Imaal, founded in 1883. Our current school building was built in 1966, extended in 1995 and again in 2007.
Donoughmore is a school under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin, the most Reverend Dr. Michael Jackson. Our school promotes the ethos of the Church of Ireland but also welcomes children of other faiths and none. We strive to provide a happy, safe learning environment for the children.

Mr. Desmond Burke visited the school as part of the Heritage in Schools Programme dressed as a Viking silver smith and monier. His visit was really interactive. We even dress one of our pupils as a viking (the armour was very heavy). We learned how they lived their daily lives and we each received a silver coin as a memento.
On Tuesday 15th March we raised the Irish flag at our school. One of our parents Corporal Michael Byrne and Rev. O’Raw helped us raise the flag in a lovely ceremony. We prepared for this event by learning how to march and salute correctly. The seniors also learned the song ‘Ireland’s Call’ which we sang at the end.
