St. Kevin's Catholic Primary School, established in 1933, is situated in the middle Falls area of West Belfast. In 2004 we moved into our wonderful new building with the most up to date facilities and high tech equipment. At St Kevin's we are concerned about the overall development of each child in our care.
We have a dedicated staff who strive to provide, not only the best education for children throughout their time in our school, but also a caring environment which will produce happy, secure, well adjusted children who are proud of their achievements. No website can convey the real atmosphere of the school.
