Scoil Eoin Baisde Cailiní Naoidh, better known as Belgrove Infant Girls School, is an all-girls Infant school catering for pupils from Junior Infants to First Class. 

The school comprises eight class teachers, two Special Education Teachers, two Additional Needs Assistants, as well as a secretary and caretaker. We currently cater for over 215 pupils, accommodated across eight classrooms: three Junior Infant classes, three Senior Infant classes, and two First Class groups. 

Belgrove Infant Girls School is one of four schools located on the Belgrove campus and operates under the patronage of the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. The Board of Management is responsible for the overall governance of the school, and the current Chairperson is Peter Gallogly. 

Our school motto is “Is deas a bheith óg”, meaning “It is nice to be young.” 

It is our school’s priority to provide a safe, happy and stimulating place into which your daughter will love to come each day. We are committed to creating a warm, caring environment where every girl feels supported, valued, and inspired to reach her full potential in all aspects of her development. Kindness, care and understanding of children of such a young age help us to achieve our objectives.  

Over the past few years, a number of large renovation projects have taken place. These projects have been partially funded by grant aid from the Department of Education and partially through fundraising organised by the Parents’ Association. 

• Our infant classrooms have been significantly enlarged by removing the dividing walls between the classrooms and cloakrooms. 
• The entire school has been rewired, and Wi-Fi has been installed throughout the building. 
• The former library has been divided to create both a library space and a SET room. 
• The school garden has been extensively overhauled. 
• An outdoor classroom has been added to our facilities. 
• The former photocopying room has been repurposed as a Quiet Space. 

At the end of First Class, the girls transition to the Senior School, with priority given to pupils from Belgrove Infant Girls School. As part of our strong commitment to wellbeing and to ensuring a positive and supportive transition, each class in the Infant school is paired with a buddy class in the Senior School. Through regular shared activities such as buddy reading and art lessons, the girls build confidence, form friendships, and become familiar with their new school environment.
