Brief history of the school

In 1952 the Poor Servants of the Mother of God were invited by the parish priest of Raheny, Monsignor W Fitzpatrick to open a convent and a primary school in his parish.

Manor House was purchased from Mr Morgan Mooney in March of that year.

In 1953 the Junior School opened with twelve pupils.

The Secondary School opened in September 1956 with two teachers.

Due to an increase in demand for places in the Secondary school, there was a first extension in 1964 and a second one in 1977.

The junior School was phased out during the 1960's.

Originally the school was a private fee-paying establishment. In 1967, it joined the free education scheme.

A Board of Management was set up in 1989.

The first lay Principal was appointed in June 1995.

The current enrolment of students is over 800.

A new PE hall is under construction and is due to be finished in May 2005

Manor House aims to encourage each girl to identify and develop her potential in a caring and disciplined environment.
