Failte romhaibh go leir! Welcome to St. Oliver Plunkett's P.S and thank-you for visiting our school website. In our school, we aim to provide an inclusive, pastoral and safe environment in which all children can grow in self-esteem, independence and confidence. Integral to this is the recognition of the value of every child, the 'living out' of the key values of Catholic education and the promotion of mutual understanding and respect for others.
Nestled in the orchards of Armagh, we are very proud of our local heritage and our links with our families, parish and the wider community. We hope our website will provide you with an overview of school life.
