St Mary’s Mission Statement 
 
We are introducing our new mission statement and vision, rooted in our deep commitment to Wellbeing for all.
 
Over the past 18 months we, as a whole-school community have reviewed and updated our School’s Vision/ Mission statement. It has been approximately 15 years since the last mission statement was reviewed. As part of our School Self Evaluation focus on Wellbeing, we set a target to revisit and update our Mission/Vision. We received excellent contributions from parents, pupils and staff and we would like to thank you all for your input and contributions.
 
 Also a huge ” Thank You” to local graphic designer Siobhán Mulcahy for her wonderful interpretation of our core values.
 
In St. Mary’s we recognize that success in education goes beyond academics. True learning flourishes in an environment where every pupil, and staff member feels supported, valued, and empowered.

Welcome to St.Mary’s Primary School Cobh Website

St. Mary’s primary school was founded in 1914 by the Sisters of Mercy. It is situated in the historic town of Cobh, overlooking St. Colman’s Cathedral and Cork Harbour. We currently have 238 pupils attending our primary school. We have 20 teachers, 5 special needs assistants, a secretary and a caretaker.  Our Sonas class room is dedicated to helping girls with Autism reach their full potential.  In September 2024, we will be opening our second special class for girls with Autism.  Our dedicated staff are committed to the holistic education and development of each of our pupils, enabling them to learn and grow together, ag fás is ag foghlaim le chéile.
