Welcome to Primate Dixon Primary School

Hello and welcome to Primate Dixon Primary School.

Through our website, we hope to give you a glimpse into the Primate Dixon family and the many exciting learning experiences, achievements and activities that take place here each day and throughout the school year.

Of course, it can only offer a snapshot of life in our school. So much happens every day, and our school is constantly evolving as we strive to provide every child with the opportunities, support and encouragement they deserve. We want our children not only to achieve academically, but also to grow in confidence, develop their talents and become kind, respectful and responsible young people. Most importantly, we want Primate Dixon to be a school where children are happy, feel that they belong and look forward to coming to each day.

For more than 100 years, Primate Dixon Primary School has proudly served its parish community and beyond. While much has changed over those years, our commitment to our children and families remained the same. At Primate Dixon, values of faith, inclusion, welcome, participation, equality and belief that every child is more than good enough are at the heart of everything we do.

As a Catholic school, our values shape the life of our school and the relationships within it. At Primate Dixon we pride ourselves on a strong and lived ethos of inclusion and we ensure that our Catholic ethos is not just what we do, but who we are as a community of faith and learning.

We passionately believe that "Every Child Is More Than Good Enough" and that every child deserves every opportunity, every day, to become the very best version of themselves. Primate Dixon belongs to all of us: our children, staff, families and wider community. When your child enrols here, the school immediately becomes theirs and yours.

We are fortunate to enjoy first class facilities, including spacious and well-equipped classrooms, state-of-the-art digital technology, a hall that is the envy of many post-primary schools, our unique quad playground and backyard, and two excellent playing fields that support sport, recreation and outdoor learning. An Nead San Oileán (The Nest) is our Nurture Provision here at school and we also have five Specialist Provision Classes.

While our facilities and resources are first class, our greatest resource however, is our staff. At Primate Dixon our staff care, they care about the children, about each other and about making our school a place where children know that they belong, know they are loved and know that they are more than good enough. Our dedicated staff work hard to knock down barriers to learning and ensure that no child is left out or left behind.

We hope you find our website informative and enjoyable. However, it can only capture a small part of the vibrant learning community that is Primate Dixon Primary School.
