Welcome to St. Aidan’s
A Nurturing Environment for Every Child
St. Aidan’s N.S., located in the townland of Smithstown, Shannon, is a welcoming, all-inclusive primary school catering to children aged 4-12. Since opening its doors in 1982, the school has gone from strength to strength, offering a holistic education in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. We are proud of our modern facilities, which include an Astroturf pitch, sensory garden, soft-play area, sensory room, and an on-site pre-school, all designed to support the varied needs of our students.


Every child matters
At St. Aidan’s, we foster a warm and friendly atmosphere, where each child is encouraged to grow and reach their full potential. A strong sense of community is at the heart of our school, with parents working closely with staff to ensure the well-being and success of every student. This partnership is key to creating a positive, inclusive environment where all children are valued, respected, and given the opportunity to flourish. St. Aidan’s is a place where every child truly matters, and where their individual growth and happiness are our top priorities.
