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.

We wish staff and pupils well for a successful day. The Country Air Association is a Church of Ireland organisation that provides financial support to people who would otherwise not be in a position to afford a holiday. The association has been in existence for many years and has helped countless people/families to get away from it all for a few days. The Country Air Association continues to offer financial support to those people who may not necessarily be in a position to plan a short break away. The financial support given by the association can make all the difference to an individual or a family to enable them to plan a short vacation to the seaside or the country to enjoy fresh air and time together, away from the everyday worries that life can very often bring. If you feel you would benefit from such a grant or know of a parishioner who would benefit from such support, please contact the Rector in the strictest confidence and he will forward on a grant application form. To avail of the grant for this summer, completed applications must be with the Country Air Association before the 31st May 2023. HOSPITAL VISITS
