Mission Statement
The Robertson National School is a Church of Ireland school which is part of the local community with strong links to the parish of Drumholm. The school community fosters partnership between children, teachers, parents/guardians, Board of Management and other relevant professionals.
While the Robertson National School is a school with a Church of Ireland ethos, it also has due respect for other faiths.
Our vision is to provide a friendly atmosphere in which all children are encouraged to achieve their full potential. Our school will endeavour to accomplish this by:
- Fostering moral values such as courtesy, honesty, respect and tolerance
- Developing and enhancing self-esteem;
- Developing the child’s ability to think clearly, creatively and critically;
- Fostering the child’s aesthetic and physical development through the media of music, drama, P.E., games and art;
- Encouraging children to see themselves as members of a community where all are entitled to live irrespective of age, sex, intelligence, family circumstances or physical characteristics;
- Promoting a sense of civic responsibility;
- Enabling pupils to recognise and manage their emotions;
- Preparing the child for further education and lifelong learning.
