Ethos

The main purpose of a Cluny school is to be a centre of evangelisation, caring for the faith and overall development of each student in the context of the school and the wider Christian and civil community. All school activities and developments are assessed against this objective. The Cluny school sees itself as a community characterised by warmth and simplicity. The entire school community, staff, students and parents create this atmosphere which is one of respect, trust, communication and co-operation. This does not preclude but is rather enriched by good discipline. Relationships, structures and systems within the school are constantly valued against these aims and values.

The school is committed to creating a broad educational experience by providing the opportunity for each student to achieve academic excellence while also developing her full potential. The school offers a broadly based curriculum which has a diverse and challenging range of academic subjects, excellent sporting opportunities and extra-curricular activities. Some of these after-school activities include the teaching of orchestra and a broad range of musical instruments, voice training, dance and drama.

The school also offers a continuous programme of personal development and a strong Christian ethos that emphasises respect and tolerance for all. It promotes values such as personal responsibility and leadership, compassion, integrity and kindness. It prepares our students for the academic standards required for Third Level education and the demands of professional life. It also aims to enable all our pupils to become moral, confident and tolerant human beings.
