No letter

No letter for St Molaga Senior N.S.

Ireland publishes no exam results school by school, and section 53 of the Education Act 1998 restricts comparing schools by them, so this school has no letter and nothing here ranks it. Its facts are the Department of Education’s; its inspection reports are linked below.

What the Department of Education does publish for St Molaga Senior N.S. is on this page: its pupils each September since 2015/16, girls and boys, its patron and ethos, whether it teaches through Irish, whether it is in DEIS, and its inspection reports.

Newspapers print lists of how many of a school’s leavers go on to college. Those count destinations, not exam results, and depend on who a school takes in; we don’t use them.

422 pupils in 2025/26. That is −10% since 2019/20.

Does St Molaga Senior N.S. teach through Irish?

No: St Molaga Senior N.S. teaches in English, with Irish as a subject.

Who runs St Molaga Senior N.S.?

St Molaga Senior N.S. has a Catholic ethos. Its patron is Archbishop of Dublin.

How do pupils get a place at St Molaga Senior N.S.?
