Athboy Community School was formed by the amalgamation of St. James’ Vocational School and St. Joseph’s Secondary School in 2004. The school provides a wide range of subjects in practical, academic and vocational areas of the curriculum. A co-ordinated system of pastoral care, combined with the promotion of extra curricular activities will facilitate the holistic development of all pupils.
Our mission is to provide quality, holistic and inclusive education for the community. Our aim is to create a safe and caring environment, which encourages pupils to reach their full potential in an atmosphere of mutual respect
The staff of Athboy Community School are actively involved in the promotion of sporting, cultural and other extra-curricular activities among the pupils. This compliments the work of the many sporting and cultural organisations in the area and ensures the overall development of all the talents of our pupils. “Mol an Óige agus tiocfaidh sí”.
Application Forms are available from the school office or may soon be downloaded from the Downloads section on this website. A closing date will be fixed for each year as detailed in the annual Admission Notice.
We offer a comprehensive range of subjects across a variety of academic and practical subjects.
Our students enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities that includes drama, travel and sport.
From soccer to golf, you’ll find our students enjoying and competing in range of sports activities.
The times and dates allocated to 6th Year Students for their oral examinations have been posted on their 6th Year team for the last week.

Best of luck to all our students over the next few days.
Well done to the U15 girls soccer team who qualified for the North Leinster final today. After an entertaining game that required extra-time, the girls won on a scoreline of 5 goals to 3.

Parent/Guardian Survey
Thanks to those of you who had a chance to fill out the survey about Ethos - in case, the topic seems a little unclear, it's a survey to get your input into how welcoming you think our school is and if there's anything we can do to make it look and feel more welcoming for parents, guardians, students and other members of our community. It will also form the basis of our new behaviour system, which is in Week 3 of a ten week pilot with 1st Years.
It would be great to get some more of your opinions, we rely on you to help us do better.
