    Hi there,

    Was wondering if anybody has any input on this.

    Myself and my partner are considering schools to send our son next year. The most suitable, location wise, would be St. Vincents in Glasnevin.

    Just wondering, does anybody know anything about the school, reputation, etc.?

    Thanks

    Thanks Red Hare!

    Looking at this school, and perhaps Rosmini too.

    Will keep researching. Thanks again!

    This mostly applies to both the secondary and the primary.

    I went to this school myself. Fantastic school, would send my own children there easily. A lot of the teachers I knew have left since I was there, so I can't really comment on that, but they have a high standard usually. It's the right level of rough in my opinion, bullying isn't tolerated at all and the school goes out of its way to find out the full stories behind things. Any teachers I've made friends with from there have said that it has the most enjoyable students of any school they've been to; your son would likely make plenty of friends regardless of what he's into himself.

    Vincent's, a couple of years back, was the only mostly working class school that made it into the top 10 secondary schools on the north side as far as I know, but I can't back that up as I never took note of where I saw it! :rolleyes: Either way, great school.

    Thanks for all the replies above everyone, so helpful...boards is great really!

    Like above, from asking around to different people, I've heard differing reports ranging from good to poor. I suppose different experiences are a routine aspect of school life.

    I just want my son to have a great education, with good support from the school, regarding behavior, etc.

    Thanks again everyone!!
