Mission Statement
Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin is a co-educational all-Irish school that was establishedin Finglas, a working-class suburb of Dublin in 2005. Our school aims to support learning and development by means of providing the highest standards of education, through the medium of Irish, for all pupils of the school. The majority of our students come to our school with English only and our staff pride themselves in establishing Irish as the communicative language of the school. The language has a central place in the life of the school and the school community work very hard to establish a positive Irish atmosphere in the school. Our school is recognised as a school in a disadvantaged area of Dublin and had DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity of Schools) Band 1 status.
