Holy Family Junior School is a Catholic co-educational primary school, situated in the heart of Ennis town. We are committed to creating a nurturing, happy, secure and stimulating learning environment in which all members of our diverse school community can learn and can feel safe, happy and valued and achieve their true potential. We strive to create a welcoming school based on trust, respect, love, concern for others, understanding and acceptance. Based on our aims and objectives, the staff and parents try to ensure that the children’s experience here is as positive and rewarding as possible. Holy Family Junior School is a very happy place for both children and staff.
