Belgrove Senior Girls’ School first opened in our present building in 1969/70. However, the origins of our school go back quite a bit further.

The original Clontarf National Schools for girls and boys were on Vernon Avenue and opened in 1847. In 1940 the schools moved to Belgrove House, the building which is now the home of Clontarf G.A.A. Club. At this time the schools were officially titled St. John the Baptist National Schools, as Gaeilge, Scoil Eoin Baiste. The name Belgrove was colloquially adopted and, to this day, is the name by which the schools are fondly known far and wide.

Throughout the years Belgrove has gained an excellent reputation for its high educational standards and the high level of achievement of its pupils. The present-day staff and pupils aim to maintain this standard of excellence. In this we have the support of parents who take an active interest in the education of their children.
