Taney Parish Primary School
Taney Parish Primary School is a co-educational national school. It is also the parish school of the Church of Ireland parish of Taney, here in Dundrum.
There are 23 teachers and 417 pupils in Taney School in a double stream school with two classes at each level from Junior Infants to 6th Class. The school partakes in a wide range of activities including Green School and Active Flag activities - all of these can be seen in more detail on our website www.taneyschool.ie
The school is above all a happy school where pupils enjoy coming each morning - a caring community of adults and children, where each is valued for their own unique contribution and effort. Taney School has a long tradition of providing the widest range of opportunities for children from the arts to sport and crucially and centrally in the academic area.

The Graveyard and Burials
A Short History
The old churchyard, in the midst of which St Nahi's Church is sited, features prominently in the earliest documentation available in the Parish. It covers an extensive area and contains over 1200 graves of which we have the names of those buried in over 800. An index is held by the Parish Office.
Further details can be found in Ball, Elrington Francis and Hamilton, Everard "The Parish of Taney: A History of Dundrum, near Dublin, and its Neighbourhood" publ. Hodges Figgis & Co Ltd 1895. Available from R.C.B. Library.
The Churchyard precedes the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland and thus is open for burial to all those who live within the boundaries of the Parish of Taney, whatever their denomination. Whilst there are very few graves still available for burial, the addition of a Garden of Remembrance in the 1990s for the burial of ashes has been a very beneficial facility for the community.
The churchyard is very well cared for by our parishioners and provides an oasis of quietness in the middle this busy Dublin suburb.
