About the school:
Sutton Park School is a private school located on the northside of Dublin, on the stunning peninsula of Howth Head. The school was founded in 1957 by a group of leading local professional and business people as a co-educational and multi-denominational school. It began its first year with approximately forty pupils and has steadily grown and developed over the past fifty years. The school now boasts a modern campus and educates hundreds of students from all over north County Dublin and a wide range of countries from all over the world.

The school strives to provide the maximum educational experience to support academic achievement and personal development, and its mission statement is “We nurture and develop the best qualities in each of our students.” Sutton Park School prepares students for entrance into the best universities in Ireland and abroad and last year 83% of final year students received their first preference university thanks to consistently high examination results. Good communication amongst teachers, parents and students ensure a successful experience for each student.

With a full-size all-weather hockey pitch, a large, multi-purpose sports field for athletics and winter sports, as well as basketball and badminton courts and a large gymnasium, students have everything they need to lead an active lifestyle and achieve sporting success. The school highly values opportunities for musical expression, and its famed choir- which performs and competes publicly several times each year- is one of the school’s most prized extra-curricular traditions.
