Our Mission Statement

Scoil Chríost Rí is a Catholic, co-educational primary school in Ennis town. Our diverse school community is committed to creating a happy, inclusive, safe and nurturing environment where every child is valued, respected and encouraged to flourish.

Inspired by the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, we promote the holistic development of every child – intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, culturally, morally and spiritually. We seek to foster a living relationship with God and with others, while nurturing kindness, respect, compassion, resilience and a sense of belonging.

We celebrate the uniqueness and individuality of every child, recognising and supporting their strengths, talents and needs. Through positive relationships, high-quality teaching and learning, and strong partnerships between pupils, staff, families and the wider community, we empower every child to achieve their full potential.

At Scoil Chríost Rí, we strive to ensure that every child feels safe, valued, included and capable, and leaves our school with a love of learning, a strong sense of self-worth and the confidence to make a positive contribution to the world around them.
