About the School:

St. Coen’s NS is a Catholic School under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin.

Our school is named after St. Coen a derivation of the old Irish name Caoimhín meaning Kevin. The school is situated in an area formerly called Droim Coen or the Ridge of Kevin.

St. Coen’s NS opened its doors in the 2016/2017 academic year when two schools, St. Joseph’s GNS and St. Ernan’s BNS, were amalgamated. The current building in Merrymeeting opened in December of 2016.
