Our school seeks to give equal opportunity to all children to reach their full potential – academically, spiritually, physically, socially and emotionally.
We endeavour to achieve this goal in a climate of positive co-operation, supported by the entire school community of pupils, teachers, support staff, parents/ guardians, Board of Management and Parish.

In this way teaching and learning can take place within the context of mutual valuing and respecting relationships.
The teachers at Dromindoora National School see education not just as providing students with knowledge and skills but also as providing for the all-round development of the individual.
We believe each child has a unique and special contribution to make.
We believe every child matters.

We want out pupils to enjoy school.
We endeavour to achieve quality in all that we do.
These aspirations can only be achieved through the so-operation of students, teachers, support staff, parents/ guardians, Board of Management and Parish.

Welcoming, tolerant, open, listening, safe, caring, inclusive and fun.
