About Portmarnock Community School

Established in 1979, the school aimed to meet the second level education needs of Portmarnock.  It was one of the first community schools to be built in Ireland. This type of school was new to the educational scene – a marriage between the voluntary secondary school and the vocational school.  It brought together the academic bias of the secondary school with the vocational thrust of the vocational school. This led to other innovations.

The school is relatively young, particularly in comparison to some other Loreto schools; however it has established a strong academic reputation as well as a record in extra-curricular activities.

Twenty nine years is a short time to produce well known celebrities or leaders in the field of medicine, law or politics. However in each of these areas and indeed right across a range of professions including stage and screen the past pupils done the school proud.
