About Us
The History of Scoil Bhríde
In 1979 Kilcullen Boys National School and Cross and Passion Girls National School were amalgamated. As a larger space was required, a new building was constructed and in 1980 sixteen teachers and over 500 pupils moved into Scoil Bhríde, where it still stands today. The original schools were located in the grounds of the church and what is now the library. The site for the school was donated by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion congregation who also donated the land for the surrounding sports facilities.
Student numbers decreased during the 1980's but began to grow again with the building boom in the early years of the new millennium. From 2003 to 2014, we gained at least one prefab per year as the numbers in the school grew at a rapid rate. In 2014, construction work began on our extension which includes 10 classroom, a very large hall, a specifically designed autistic spectrum unit and extra learning support and resource rooms. During this time, the original building was updated with new electrics, flooring, roofing and a new office area was constructed. The new building was formally opened by the Archbishop of Dublin, Eamonn Walsh in February 2015. In the school year 2019-2020, our enrollment is 687 pupils.
