About the school
“We are very proud of our community here at St. Malachy’s. All we do is underpinned by our Mission — a code of conduct designed collaboratively by our children, staff, academy councillors, and parents/carers.”
Established school - open since before 2014. Became an academy in October 2014, continuing the school that was already there.
